This is so insanely unbelievable to me, but I just listen to Angelita's soft sincerity, "Mom's best friend at college was friendly ...like you.   Mom was happy when her friend introduced her to some of her family.   They were friendly too.  And one of the men ...he was friendly, and rich. He bought Mom things, and it made her happy.   He told Mom she had to join his religion for them to be married. She told him she was okay with it.  She didn't mention it to him, but she told me that at the time she didn't know anyone who took their religion seriously anyway, so could see no harm in it.  Mom said it was the happiest day of her life when I was born.  And things were good for a while, but things began to get strange after that.  Mom thought he had a lot of money, but he began to owe money after that.  Mom said it was the religious law that he pay ...and I was part of that payment, when I turned eight years old."
