"It seemed like that was all I was good for was to be available for being abused by the adults who were supposed to keep me safe. On top of that watching violence to others all around me and, being made to feel by foster care like a money symbol, and having to move constantly 15 homes........well it has all taken it's toll on me and now at 37 I still am trying to recover my own identity and self worth."


Tigressnred, you certainly had a rough childhood, one NO one deserves! I can't imagine having to go through the foster care stuff...it just doesn't get any worse than that. I saw it happen to nephews and niece after my sister was murdered and I couldn't care for them. The difference is you realize you have problems, they are in complete denial.
I wish you well and give you hugs!
