I Grew Up In Foster Care

There are 15 of us in this group and no one has posted, interesting. Well, then I suppose I will be the first, its good for my social anxiety! 🤪 I guess for me I was a career foster child from 4-17 in 15 different homes. Even with all the horrific, traumatic things that happened in all those years, I would not be the amazing, beautiful, unique person I am today without those experiences.

Something i learned ,there would be times i had to just give up .Stop expecting things to change . Those were the darkest times ,but i found out i kept getting the chance to give up again ,even though my mind gave up my spirit never did .

@kodiac Thank you for sharing that with us. Isn't it amazing how in such situations we develop the right survival skill for our need at that time? We are indeed resilient souls! 😀
