Two smart people just out of college, fell in love with each other.
They married and began a family together.
Eventually Frank wasn't making Monica happy anymore.
Her illness set in making her bi- polar episodes begin, no meds for sure.
Child after child she would bear.
Dysfunctional parenting, she didn't care.
The drugs and alcohol, down they went.
Money from the food and even the rent.
Monica eventually left Frank for a woman.
Down the gutter is where she's been.
All six children were left in Frank's care.
An alcoholic, an addict, the cold blooded look he did stare.
Off and on they were thrown into the system.
Getting his act together is where he did begin.
When the oldest daughter turned twenty one, her siblings she cared for.
That's the story of Monica and Frank, a dysfunctional family that's for sure.
