[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1351045, member: 17767"] I could have written that!!! We took a bath once a week with a wash pan and wash cloth. Our sheets were washed once a month. They were stained brown from the soil that rubbed off our bodies. There were soil stains around our ears and hairline, mud rivulets from sweat running down our necks. Ankles were shadowed with soil. I had crusty dirt around my ankles at the top of my bogan shoes. I thought all that was normal. We did brush our teeth. No candy, no store bought beverages. If someone brought a banana or fruit, the frenzy was like shark week. I am the only one who had a fantasy that I could go to college. Dad fought with me for a year saying I could not go. My brother told me recently he wanted to go but he saw what I went through with Dad and said he didn't want to bear that pain. When I left, Dad had nothing to do with me. He would not sign my NDSL application for financial aid until mom laid the law down that he had to. She was the only person who ever told my dad what to do. I rarely went home. I was asked many times why I never went home. I joked that "would you leave the copacabana to stay at the Super 8. [/QUOTE]
