I want to thank you so much for this opportunity to see the foster care system in a more personal light. For me this is a very meaningful and emotional thing because my mother went through years of foster homes, group homes, broken homes, and abusive ones before she was able to become her own person and make her way out.
Through my 18 years I have had only a few glimpses of what he went through in her childhood and I can't even imagine what a fully illustrated picture of that would be like. She is my hero and I love her so much for overcoming everything that she was forced to endure to become the confident, loving, and caring person she is today. I really do hope that you will become an inspiration to your children, however they may come to you, as my mother has been to me.
One thing I wish I could help her with is her relationship with her father. He is the root of almost all of her childhood trauma and has been a source of pain for her all her life. Could you give me some advice on how to help her heal herself or how to approach discussions about him with her?
