The Glass Castle
Movie • 2017 • Drama
ReportA young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI. Living in poverty, she comes of age guided by her drunkard, ingenious father who distracts her with magical stories to keep her mind off the family's dire state, and her selfish, nonconformist mother who has no intention of raising a family, along with her younger brother and sister, and her other older sister. Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

Nobody was made to think they were crazy. I don't know why people voted yes for this (except that it seems like nobody understands what this word actually means)

In addition to the father's physical and emotional abuse, there is sexual abuse by a female adult in the family.

Someone is punched in the nose and says "I think my nose is broken" but it's unclear whether that's actually the case. He doesn't go to the hospital or anything.

Someone uses a needle to sew up a wound. It's dark and you can't see it very well.

I wouldn't call it a relationship. It was child sexual abuse.
