RE: Growing Up in Foster Care.......... And How it Effects Your Relationships.

Thank you for your post, Mark. I've been trying to say some of this in my own awkward way. The system creates psychological and emotional baggage that for most people is irreversible. It seems to go under the radar and is undetected by the General Public. The system might help you if your homeless or without money perhaps. But they refuse to acknowledge the psychological and mental impact that children suffer, not to mention their families. It would be nice to have psychologists counselors and mental health clinics designed specifically for children and families who have suffered from the CPS. But I suppose that's a long ways down the road. I'm proud of you for Rising above the obstacles and taking your life back. The wall might be safer but to be able to trust and love is more human. Thank you for opening up and sharing.
