A young girl comes of age in a dysfunctional family of nonconformist nomads with a mother who's an eccentric artist and an alcoholic father who would stir the children's imagination with hope as a distraction to their poverty. (IMDb)
It's a story of Jeannette Walls, based on her experiences.
I can't thank my parents enough that they raised me without feeling poverty or giving up something because of money.
If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't go back or take care of the parents.
Probably blame them, look down on them...but she didn't because of love.
I'm not sure if I could have unconditional love in that situation.
Reminds me that family is important and don't forget I didn't grow up by myself.
