My Dad told me that my 18th birthday present was everything that he paid for that I considered my personal property, but I would have to start paying rent. The rent was equal to 90% of my take home pay if a worked a minimum wage job for 40 hours a week, for the whole month. I would also be responsible for all the same chores, plus his.

Sorry for your loss, Ted, but your story is a heart-warming one that reminds us that there was a time when families came together like yours did to help you and your brother.
