For me, neglect is the thing here.

I legitimately believe both my parents loved me and my sister.

These people are serious drug users, and that comes with major spectrum of problems.

I decide to run away after getting in trouble.

I had no plans of actually running away.

I was just trying to piss this woman off.

But she freaks out, and she calls my grandparents.

And the next thing you know, both my sister and I, Esther, are in a car, our clothing in a trash bag, going to the Albuquerque Christian Children's Home.

Oh, boy.

Now, so I had a question here.

What is your judgment of your grandparents?

When I read that they were called and their solution or their combined thought was, well, let's get them in this home, and they lived in Albuquerque.

Yeah, I know.

It's hard not to look at their behavior as at the very least negligent.

Abandonment.

And if there are villains in that book, it's hard not to point that.

Yeah.

And then also maybe it explains a bit of why mom had problems.

That's the vibe that existed at that point.

That's right.
