Hi family,
For those of you who know me, you may notice my signature has changed today. We had a nightmarish weekend of major difficult child proportions!
But, not with Aly, with our 4 yo foster child. He had been with us a little over a month. He came to us with major issues, been molested by older children in his previous foster home.
The first week he was with us, he tested us majorly with inappropriate behavior, showing himself to Aly. Then the next week he decided to share the wealth with Jayme. Thank God Aly caught him both times before it went any further.
But, last night, he crossed that line in the sand. My oldest easy child is home for a few days visiting with us and she walked into foster son's room to find him with Jayme's pants and diapers pulled off and Jayme screaming bloody murder. She was sooooo scared. She just kept saying "D scare me, D scare me". I was heart broken, sick to my stomach, scared to death...
Called his SW and reported incident and they moved him last night. He called me this morning begging to come "home", "I love you mama, please let me come home" OMG!! It was just awful.
Now I am struggling with whether I should take Jayme to the pediatrician. She doesn't look like she was "injured" in that area. She had a real hard time sleeping last night, I ended up curling up in her little bed and held her most of the night.
I can't believe this has happened. I feel so badly for D, he is such a messed up little boy. But I am even more afraid for Jayme and Aly, Aly has been so full of anxiety today, we had to give her her PRN medication and let her sleep most of the day.
I know I need to get Jayme into some sort of counseling, hoping our foster agency will supply that. Not sure we will take any new placements very soon, if ever again.
I feel so awful for what has happened to this little guy to have him act out like this. We were his 9th placement!!! Just found that out last night!
Anyways, not sure why I am posting other than to get it all out. Thanks for reading this.
:sad:
