The Glass Castle: section 1 reactions

Section one of this book kind of shocked me. The way those children were being raised really gave me an uneasy feeling and i found it somewhat disturbing. The way Mr. Walls would swear and "care" for his family wasn't the ideal way of raising children in today's world. I think that the hospital should have looked more into their family and help them get back on track. The way Jeannette caught on fire should have been a big sign to the doctors at the hospital that the family needed help.
