After I was finally taken into state custody, I cycled through six foster homes. Because of it I have struggled with mental health issues for as long as I can remember. Anyone who meets her comments on how happy and outgoing she is, but I don’t know how to walk the tightrope between keeping her safe and making her afraid. In my teens I noticed that these wealthy people always introduced one acquaintance to another whenever they met for a chat. After moving across the country to the West Coast as an adult, I have noticed that nobody — rich or poor — seems to go out of their way to introduce a new face to others in the room. During the 1960s, many parents stopped teaching their children social refinements like the one you describe. The result has been a lack of sensitivity in social interactions, and it is evident in more ways than this one.
