Dirt poor?

When I was really young, six, seven or so, my dad was fairly worthless, yet he insisted that my mom not work. He bought a house that was waaayyy beyond our means, so we rarely had sufficient food in the house. The electricity would get turned off on occasion. He was also a stinking drunk, and that made things interesting.

I didn't realize that we were hard up until I got a lot older, and compared some of the things that my mom was doing to things that I did when times were tight.
