[QUOTE="WSM, post: 249405, member: 5169"] I had a good friend in college who grew up in a group home. His mother was poor with lots of kids, and his dad was in a psychiatric jail. When his dad came out, his mother ran off and left the kids with him. His sister was sexually abused by the dad, and my friend spent a couple years on the top of a bunk bed, pretty much the only place he could stay and not get beaten. They eventually put him in a group home. He loved it. Called the group home leader mom and kept in touch with her while he was in college and the army. Made a few bad choices with drugs, but eventually worked his way through college and got a Ph.D in chemistry from the U. of Michigan. Still calls his group mother 'mom'. But then he doesn't have a mom otherwise. [/QUOTE]
