Holden is going through a tough time after the loss of his brother. Life hasn’t been easy for Holden; he has had to deal with his bad grades, the stress of getting kicked out of schools, and the neglect by his parents. He has nobody to talk to, nobody to console him.

You cannot trust that her view of any reality when she seems most lucid is even clear enough for anything when you realize her state of mind.
