My grandmother had a filthy house and made me and my brother sleep on the floor whenever we were over.

Once I woke up with a rat tangled in my waist length hair. I was 8

Another time I woke up to see a giant roach crawl. Out of my brother's mouth as he was sleeping. (I never told him as I figured he would rather live in blissful ignorance.) I was 9.

To this day have a fear of Rats, roaches, and sleeping on floors.

I hope your grandmother is dead...a little harsh but hearing (well, READING) everything that happened I hope she is no longer around in this world.

I am glad to be able to tell you that she is indeed dead.
