So what's the poor kid doing that's so bad?
She's simply bumbling around, dropping mugs, bleeding on things. Sounds like a confused 16-year old. What's so terrible about that?
She could be doing all sorts of hostile nasty things, things we've seen in other letters to Cary.
The letter writer doesn't seem to be one bit sympathetic to her. Can you imagine how horrid it must be to have your mother go mad when you're in a foreign country and abandon you?
And she's 16, for God's sake. How long is she going to hang out, five years at most? It's not like you have to change diapers.
There are plenty of selfish, unattached men. I suggest you find one of them, it will suit you a lot better. I definitely think you shouldn't be around kids.
