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.

When I was adopted I was scared ... afraid that someone mean who take me to hurt me like my biologic father did . I was 11. But my adoptive parents gave me somebody to love . It took a while to warm up to them even though I had known them for a while before I escaped from my father. She’s broken , But you know that . Let’s hope love will heal them

@TexChik I was adopted, too. Different circumstances, but good to find loving parents who truly care.

@Candace I knew I wasn’t alone but I had never loved anyone , and once I did ... I couldn’t stand to let them
Out of my sight . Then the ptsd kicked in ... but that’s not because of them
