Hold On

"Hold on... hold on to yourself. This is going to hurt like hell." ~ Sarah McLachlan



That could just sum up foster parenting. You have to hold on to yourself. Otherwise you will go through the cheese grinder called the "system". It leaves your raw. It leaves you hurt. It leaves you questioning so many things.

It is a system with many flaws. It is a system with many hurts. It is a system that lies. It is a system that makes no sense. It's a system where caseworkers can somehow find a way to sleep while foster families are left scratching their heads going "HUH?"

Yep.
