Capítulo 8: Chapter 8

His clothing, his toys, and his room…nothing was ever safe from his father in a drunken rage. As a result, Donald began to keep anything of significance with the Sanatores and became very protective of what was his. This is why it was not in his makeup to share the boy who would become the center of his life. He shared his wealth with charities all over Trenton and Hamilton. When Pop Sanatore got laid off from his job at the linoleum factory, he bought the property on Route 29 and invited the Sanatores to come and live with him to take over the housekeeping and maintenance duties.

He asked them to work, only because he knew Pop would not take a handout.

Therefore, he shared his home with Mama and Pop Sanatore and their assorted family. Donald was not cheap, or selfish, just protective. There were things he gladly gave away, but after his father and Antonio, he could not, would not share his boy.
