Talking to my 14 year old foster daughter that I literally met not even an hour ago...

She wasn't being too kind towards me, which I completely understand and it's okay, but I told her I know her and her brother has had to move around a lot, it sucks and it's scary and I told her she can trust me, and she said, "no. You're wrong. I can't trust anybody. The ONLY person who has not left my side, is my brother and I've had to be his mom and protector for 6 years.. nobody gives a shit about me, and nobody gives a shit about him except for me." That right there broke my freaking heart.

I hope that you can change that. It can happen over time. As you prove it to them. I was in foster care as a child too and my younger sister.

@Candace I hope so too. Me and my sister got to go back to our parents after a couple of different foster homes. We were even split up for at lest one home. It's hard to remember. The last home we where together.
