THE glASS CASTLE

As I suspected the parents were completely worthless. They thought they were helping their children by allowing them to explore and live in poverty, with little to nothing to eat. Although it allows most of them to become extremely intelligent and able to live on their own, it turned their kids against them and made them question their decisions. Eventually Jeanette and Lori leave symbolizing that they want some sort of stability, whether it be a roof over their head or food to eat. They were tired of being around people who cant hold jobs and fend for their children. I dont blame them for doing this because they have been constantly moving around the U.S. and their father has become scum the more and more he starts to drink and smoke, no wonder he couldnt keep a job. I wouldnt want someone working for me who handling their alcohol. But becasue of how the kids grew up, Maureen eventually stabs her mom and is sent to mental hospital. This is not the type of life I would want  to live.
