I’m still here. My family has been going through quite a roller coaster. It’s been terrifying and fun… and I’m ready to get off. Something tells me I’m only about halfway through this ride.
Our last placement stole some collectible items and as yet, we have not been able to recover the items or the monetary equivalent. The state denied the claim for reimbursement of the value and so, the fight is on. To either get them to change their mind or file a police report and a claim through our insurance company. In the meantime,,, we are having to play catch up.
Our current placement is having some escalating behaviors. Not sure what’s going to happen as the case continues… but his behaviors are extremely worrying. What’s more is he’s not using the tools he’s been learning and taught by all his supports.
This is foster care. And… it sucks.
On the upside, I finished my certifications and I’m almost ready to get back to work. The thought is exciting and terrifying. Here’s hoping I make the right choice this time.
