Where the fuck do you fit in the world when you are familyless because of foster care?
Oh man. It’s been another one of those weeks where if I didn’t have the pets, I could have easily blown my
brains out. If you are reading this and thinking “suicide is never the answer LT” — please then tell me what is the answer when you are person who doesn’t fit into this world? A person who doesn’t belong anywhere or to anyone.
Don’t you see, I fit in nowhere. I’m a misfit.
The “trauma therapist”–Dr. Val– is happy to assure me that my feelings are “normal” and that it makes sense — after all my bioparents didn’t care about me and treated my horrifically and then foster care never “found” a place for me to really belong… a “forever family.” So she tells me that my feelings are normal and that talking about them and working through them will help.
