I liked both my parents who are now dead. My mother was Catholic and when my father was away a sea(he was a Merchant Seaman) she started getting religious with me, making me pray, read the Bible, go to Church. If I was watching a television show and something rude came on she would get up and turn it off, same with the radio, if someone started singing stuff like 'Baby, I want you bad'. My father had a drink problem. He was never violent but just annoying saying America was the 'crookest country on Earth', Ronald Reagan was a crook, stuff like that. He had a problem with America because he got thrown out of there because he didn't have a green card and got in trouble with the law but still liked Americans because he had relatives over there and liked the ordinary American, not the crooks. My father and I sometimes got into a couple of fist fights and once when I played him at table tennis and beat him easily and I said 'your'e hopless' he threw the bat at me and it cut my head.
Sounds like you and Carrie White had similar parents!

It was pretty good when they were with us. But it could have been better (But don't we all have a tendency to say that after they're gone, and not when they're still with us, when we could have done something about it?).
