Oldest brother became an engineer after a hitch in the Air Force...so smart, they put him in Intel. Conservative

Next bro is a doctor, painter, musician, writer. Political moderate.

I'm a retired cop. Now I play music for a living. Moonbat right winger.

Little sister runs her own business. Computer geek. Wedding planner. Moderate.

One sister with mental disabilities, probably cuz of the vicious beating dad gave her..brain damage. She's a screaming liberal...btw.

Mom is a very smart lady, and gave us a love of reading early. I was a wild child...the stuff I put her through....

We all turned out OK. I remember how ashamed she was to return to her hometown like that. She worked when possible...with chronic back pain.... because she was proud, and hated receiving aid. She had it really hard. I think she still feels responsible. Dad was a violent, foul-mouthed, nasty, cheatin' SOB. And she feels like it was her fault. yeah...she loved us. Still does...when she can remember our names...Alzheimer's.

“I’m a retired cop. Now I play music for a living. Moonbat right winger.”

I call shenanigans. If you’re Conservative, you can’t be a moonbat. That’s a province solely occupied by the left.

"Mom...gave us a love of reading early"

Sorry to hear about the Alzheimer's. It's obvious that mom was special in your upbringing and gave all for her children.

God bless your mom, dasboot. My mom kept the five of us together and it hurt her to go on welfare too. She found a good paying job after dad left, but she worked until midnight and the babysitter would go home early. I was 11. My little brother was 1. Welfare found out we were alone after hours and threatened to take away us kids. Mom had no choice but to stay home. She hated welfare. She was ashamed. When we were old enough, she immediately got a job in housekeeping at the local university. She did all she could to keep us together, fed and clothed. She died just this past Tuesday. My husband and I gave her the most comfortable life we could and she died at home.

We were lucky to have loving, good moms dasboot. You know if she could, your mom would do it all again for you and your siblings. They would do it all over again if they had to - because they loved us that much.
