[QUOTE="Star*, post: 294031, member: 4964"] Abbs - I have never been able to afford new clothes for Dude- ever. It has always and forever been the nicest stuff I could get at the second hand places and he has never, not once cried about it. What frosted my honey buns was when he told me that the live-in boyfriend of the daughter of the foster family who was not living there when the home inspection was taken for him to be a foster child - and who now has his own 17 year old son living there - sleeping on the couch - has constantly made fun of Dude's clothes - filled his shoes with sand - told him it didn't matter if his clothes got thrown out that it's not like I buy his stuff at the mall - and the man is 38 years old. ( he's ill I know) this is a man who bought a bass boat for over $10k and has NO car or license. SEE? I'm not worried about his clothes - neither is he. He's had so little for so long - it's not a problem - not the point - Point is - they were HIS things...and if ANYONE should have gone "through" his stuff - don't you think I should have been invited to at least identify some stuff? I mean - they literally wasted NO time - the minute that Dude was taken to the hospital the entire family - daughter, her boyfriend, foster Mom - and even some of the day care kids I'm told were ALL in his room (crazy neighbor lady saw it all) and had trash bags and were tossing it all out saying stuff like "GOOD BYE DUDE" and other ugly things. This tells me they really don't want him there. Last night - he wanted to come to the house - he asked if he could get a ride - he's been sick - I asked them to please take him to the doctor - to please call and make the appointment. They said they would/did. Dude waited in the living room - and the foster dad yelled at him and said that he wasn't bringing him to our house - and that it was HIS fault for being sick that now he wasn't able to go to church...to go to his room and stay there.
