Who does the author seem to blame besides Malachy, Sr., for the impoverished condition of the McCourt family? Chapters 12-14

Laman Griffin

Explanation:

In the book "Angela's Ashes", we learn of a young boy named Frank whose father was described as irresponsible. Chapter twelve begins with a description of the family expecting their father Malachy, Sr., to return from his trip. They waited in vain for him at the train station on the day he was supposed to arrive. He, however, arrives the next day with his two teeth of and his wife sensing that he had been indulging in alcohol which sapped him of his income. His wife Angela struggled to cater for the family even though it was not easy for her, so the author did not present her in a negative light.

Another person whom the author seemed to blame for the impoverished condition of the McCourt family was their uncle Laman Griffins who also indulged in alcohol. This must-have also consumed his wages. He treated his cousin badly when she ran to him for help. Probably, if he was kind and did not drink he might have helped the McCourt family out of their impoverished condition.
