I got shit parents too - the worst of liberal and the worst of RINO between the both of them.
You might not be able to appreciate them at the moment, but at least your parents respected learning and stayed together.
So here's a story - I taught myself classical guitar as a hobby, held down passing grades during an accelerated summer semester in college, and for no reason whatsoever, Mom told me to fuck off on finals day and left me stranded with no transportation to school. I was running around the neighborhood frantically knocking on doors for a ride because the city bus had arrived prior to her informing me. No one was home. One of the neighbors forgot his cigarettes and came back home. I was lucky to cross paths with him. I gave him my last $5 bucks to swing by the college so I could take my finals.
Amidst the panic, I forgot my calculator for Math, and now I was late on top of it, so I had less time for the final. However, I was the asshole in class that twisted my teacher's ear to teach me how to do everything manually, so guess what? I remembered. I passed the final with a 90% due to a few certain questions requiring a calculator, so I got them wrong (I'm not Commander Data). As a matter of fact, all my finals that semester were As and Bs. Not one of my parents congratulated me because they "expected it out of me". Fuck 'em both to Hell.
You see, when some parents get divorced, they completely give up on their children, especially after year 18. Whats worse, is they tend to listen to whatever scumbag they're dating at the time. Most guys at the bar just want to fuck your mother, so they tell her to ditch her kids to get them out of their way. If your parents give up on God, they tend to listen to the dicks at the bar. If your Mom cripples your father with debt, he's got to listen to some other woman who wears the pants, has the money, and dictates his actions. Think she gives a shit about leftover children? Hell no.
As much of a pain it might have been at times for you, I would've killed for parents like yours.
Oh yea, those years are long gone, but gosh were they rough.
I've worked with younger people to get them to reconcile with their parents by telling them just how awful the other side can be. I got plenty of war stories. It woke me up to Christ's wisdom.
Sucks I have to be the example, but it sure feels good to help people see their situations differently. It's kind of has the Miracle on 34th Street/Ebeneezer Scrooge effect.

Sorry to hear that but I'm pleased to hear you overcame some of those burdens and hope you're doing alright now.
