Yeah we adopted him a few years ago

I mean he’s really cute when he’s sick, it’s the only time he’ll sit with me, but also it makes it hard to get anything done, especially homeschooling

*sigh, remembers the foster kids we used to take care of…. Cries. Remember M specuiically. Cries more* we used to have this lil guy right. Lil African American-native American baby. We raised him, taught him to walk, speak, everything. Then they were like, “he’s going to live with someone else cause your white.” And he was taken away. And i cry whenever i think about him cause he was the cutest sweetest. *sniffles* and these little guys k and b. A to taller and little baby. So adorable. We took care of them occasionally but they went back home. Which is bad cause their parents are STLL DOING DRUGS.ive watched this stupid foster system mess up so many kids. It’s sad to think about. I’ve seen kids go from all sassy and happy to the exact opposite. The fire gone. It’s awful. 

…. Wow sorry for rambling

Yeah no the foster system is a flaming dumpster fire, but part of that is due to the insane restrictions that get placed on DHS and the hoops they have to jump through. That’s why we adopted instead of fostering, ‘cause none of my family would have been able to handle having a kid and then them getting taken away.

Yeah them leaving hurts like hell. The system did a really stormed up thing with my closest fb. We were like so close. Did EVERYTHING together. One weekend me my mom and sister had a thing in another city. S was unable to come. So he went into respet for the weekend. The caseworker called my mom around 3. “Hey just checking in have you left town yet” “no im picking up my girls then we will leave.” “Alright well then have fun” “bye?” Then nothing. We left town, around an hour after we left. My mom gets a call. I feel something off instantly. She hangs up. They were taking s away from us right then. They waited till we left town. PURPOSLY to take him away. To say i was sad is an understatement. I screamed. He had basically been there since we moved to the town. And they just. Took him without us being able to say goodbye. Intentionally, after a few years we got him back. He has changed os much. It hurts to see the difference. But we are chill again.

Storms that sucks, I’m so sorry.

*hug*

It’s so fracked up, I don’t even know how it’s gotten to this point. There’s so much that DHS should be doing or doing better that they’re just not, and it makes no sense.

*hugs and whispers from under the couch* nooo you are wonderful and amazing

Electricity broke, no WiFi, AC, lights, outlets (fixed now ofc), but I almost had a panic attack over being unable to download books on my kindle it makes me feel so claustrophobic whenever I can’t do smth because of no/poor connection and then if i tell someone or ask for help they’ll just be like “yeah, internet’s out? What about it. Screenager”

Ok that's not fair. Books are books, and kindles are convenient. Of course you shouldn't have to deal with out being able to download them!

...this coming from the guy who has planned out which books to get out of the house first in case of a house fire, cause they burn faster than most people, and can't move themselves.

Ok, only a few books. People are also important.

Have you tried asking them? It's awkward as storms, but also super valuable. Be prepared to answer the same question for them, btw (why do you value them as a friend), so it's an encouraging thing for them too. 
And - challenge - will you believe them when they tell you why? It'll take some deliberateness, choosing to believe them instead of your brain.

Panic attacks are no fun, regardless of the cause. *hug*

Coping by pretending to be an extrovert. Enjoy trying to make random strangers days a little better with a smile, while hoping that someone will do the same for me. Moderate depression, anxiety, with possible autism. 

Happily married with two beautiful boys. Everything to live for.

*hugs back*Yah I’ve asked them and they always give me logical reasons that I can’t argue against but I seem to be able to convince myself that I’m worthless and a terrible friend a few months later.
