I swear to god Both of his parents are terrible at looking after him. He needs someone else coz they're both USELESS

This book also does a good job of showing how police may seem helpful and trustworthy, but ultimately they are not necessarily looking out for your best interests, might not listen to you when you rightfully feel unsafe, and don't know how to work with disabled people

My brain doesn't necessarily work the same as Christopher's, I'm not as interested in maths as he is, but him trying to get a train is a good representation of why it's so hard to do it. Like yeah for a neurotypical person, "get a train" is one step, but it's much more massive and difficult for us. It's like everyone is walking on a path and we're wading through a swamp

Holy shit he needs to get the FUCK out of this house. It's 3am I am still awake. I need to never ever start reading past midnight

Also the spelling mistakes in these letters have GOT to be on purpose

His mother is definitely flawed, very much so, but she did the best thing a flawed person can do (assuming they can't change) which is relinquishing responsibility she couldn't handle, being a mother, while still trying to be present in her son's life. She definitely fucked up, but she also made a good choice to get out of a shitty situation where she was harmful to christopher.

Good news I wasn't wrong to think this family is really fucked up. Bad news this family is REALLY fucked up. I am so fucking sorry christopher you don't deserve this horribly dysfunctional family life.

Dude what the hell. Is this about a lot more than a dead dog??? Is this all a misunderstanding or is the dad actually evil

Never mind any positive thing I thought about them, fuck both of his parents. Abusive bastards

I get that his dad has obviously had a terrible time and is going through some stuff but my god can he stop yelling and cursing at his son and talk to him like an adult. Get a fucking grip
