Actually, it was my father, when he wasn't at work. Other times my two younger (but older than me) sisters Wendy and Kristi that raised me.

Mom had serious problems, unfortunately. Although, there were times when she was brilliant, between bouts of depression, when she wasn't on Valium or revved up beyond belief on a religious tyrade.

How's that Hendrix song go?
