Oof, that was rough. Poor Gordie was going through a lot, and it just didn't seem like he would get a break.
And is the system really that bad?
SpoilerHow can it be that you would force a teen to stay a week with his father, if he completely freaks out in a supervised meeting, so much that they have to end it ten minutes early!
Like, how?! No way that could really happen! Though I wouldn't be surprised either...

And can we appreciate this cover? It's perfect!
It might not be the best cover ever made, but it fits so well. The way the left side of his body almost looks like it's bruised is exactly how Gordie would look on the inside, I think.
