[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 20812, member: 1550"] I can NOT believe the foster mother, then, again, sadly, I can. Having been one, and decided it's NOT for me, I've been at foster parent meetings where the foster parents sat around and spoke very self-righteously about their kid's families (they had no real knowledge of the families--I'd learned that we got such bad info about the kids that I'm guessing most that we heard about bio. parents was a load of crap). But it turned me off and hub and I stopped going to meetings. We didn't need to be preached to by people who thought they knew it all about their foster kids. The system is completely screwed up. This woman should never be allowed to address you that way. Of course you wanted to defend yourself. That's natural. I'm like you. I would have put my big foot in my mouth. I don't think you'll have to deal with her for long. If she didn't want your kid three weeks ago, she'll change her mind about keeping him again. You have time to decide what you want to do. I am not an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) fan, but, in this case, I'd almost wish they'd put him in one. Going from foster to foster isn't stable. None of this is your fault. I would have walked out too, and probably burst into tears first. This woman may think she knows it all, but she doesn't know squat. Her attitude towards you is probably the way she acts towards everyone. I'm learning that people don't just pick me out to lash out at. If they're that type of person, they usually do it to everyone and don't have many fans. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
