This was a chunk of my teenage/childhood, packrat parents, who refused to move up in life due to vices and mental health issues.
This has hit a very sore soft spot for me, and I love how much it hurts, because it means you nailed this hard emotion to capture, I don’t pitty Frank and Anna, I feel them both on a spiritual level beyond anything I can say.
Only major difference is I grew up in a city of over 4.7 million people. Inner city ghettos are pretty much like this.
It struck a chord with me that Frank didn’t object to putting his mother in a mental home for emotional reasons, rather because he just knows it would cause more problems than it would solve.
It’s so cathartic to see that one glimpse of Frank’s mom in Cheap Thrills, and to hear more about why Frank still lives with her in Rigsby. Frank is my favorite problematic fave.
This chapter keeps hitting me right in the heart. Bravo.
The problems of Frank and Anna keep hitting extra close to home. *Sighs wearily*

Well, it’s clear at least ONE person cares about her. :c
