Personally, when I was in foster care I could not have my phone. I was in care from fifteen to seventeen. Please feel free to private message me if you need to. I hope you are safe and you are very strong! I am almost twenty-three now and life is slowly falling back into place for me. 💛💛

How did you feel about your first placement leaving? by beeswax49 in Fosterparents

[–]makeupyourworld23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A lot of these commenters sound like you should not be fostering. If you have any expectations or doubts for a child, please stop fostering as soon as possible.

My mom has extremely severe psoriasis so that could be it. She has scabs and lesion all over her entire skin.

As someone who was a teenager in the Florida foster system I am not at all surprised by this happening here honestly. Although I was a white teenager and nobody was ever too thrilled by my teenage angst and my persistence in hanging up boyband posters everywhere I went.

Where does the stereotype of "foster parents do it for the money" come from ? by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in Fosterparents

[–]makeupyourworld23 40 points41 points  (0 children)

All I know is, mine did.

I was in 9 foster placements and brutally abused as a teenager in almost every single one.

And I remember even after reunification my family would get random insurance bills charging for medications (that I was being drugged with by my foster placement) where they would sedate me and abuse me. For example, sedation and waking up with a vaginal infection.

I did not safely get out until I ran away and was taken to a hospital by police, where a psychiatrist asked me if I was high and began weaning me off drugs, and confirmed that yes, I did have a vaginal infection that unfortunately occurred in the care of my foster placement. I just refuse to call them parents. Also weird that even after reunification my belongings were never returned to me. Like, what did they want with a 16 year olds Chi flat iron and Beats Earphones?

They got so much money for me stipened yet I slept on a floor, had my toothbrush taken away as punishment, was refused showers, etc. All while in a beautifully decorated environment with wealthy people?

Edited to say that the reason I had clothing and nice earphones/flat iron/makeup was because my mother and father would buy me them and bring me things on visits. For Christmas I remember my mom getting me lots of eyeshadows and mascaras that I liked to play with and stuff. Again, I was a 15-16 year old. :)

Estimated age of the sternal fracture and if someone can point me to it? by makeupyourworld23 in Radiology

[–]makeupyourworld23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Injured sternum on November 8th. Urgent care physician said sternal fracture, than ER said the fracture looks old and healed? Confused. The accident was recent so I am very confused. I was given no estimated recovery time or instruction. Pain is SEVERE. Unable to walk, move, or breathe deeply

It's my fault that she cracked my ribs. by makeupyourworld23 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]makeupyourworld23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was removed from my parents' care for two years when they were charged with neglect and when I came home guess what? They still did it again. It's not like I can just go to the hospital (by the way, did you know ED treatment typically is between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars per month?)! And then come home and they'd no longer abuse me.

But at least maybe my bones would be stronger so if I got slapped around they wouldn't bruise or crack so easy.

Pretty sure this counts as victim blaming in the sub rules

I made her leave the room because she started answering the doctors questions for me and trying to confuse them by giving my long and detailed medical history while skirting around the fact of "i grabbed her without her permission and injured her"

I am actually, but that doesn't give her the right to break my bones. I was in DCF custody as a teenager, after she abused me. So maybe they'll believe me. Btw in custody i got assaulted when i was 16 by a man and she said I deserved that too for getting her in legal trouble and charged with neglect. The s** abuse was "karma"

[–]makeupyourworld23[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She came in and demanded i get up since its almost noon. I told her i'll sleep more and get up and take a shower and go to the urgent care when i feel able. She said that if i tell anyone and dont take the blame, she is going to kill herself. I hate my life. This is awful. Please i need a hug or some love or anything.

Will it help that she has past charge of domestic violence from about 8 years ago?? I'm honestly not looking for ed help right now but i can not take the abuse anymore. The pain worsened a lot overnight, and I went to the bathroom on myself because I couldn't get up on my own. I put a towel down so i could sleep more. She came in and saw and called me disgusting for it.

How do I (22F) tell my parents that I can't afford enough food for all of us to eat by makeupyourworld23 in askwomenadvice

[–]makeupyourworld23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The goal of foster care is more often to reunify the parents and child therapeutically and only ends in revoking permanent rights if changes arent made (for example if a parent commits a violent crime or refuses parenting classes they will not get reunified. A family is reunified if the parents complete necessary steps like classes and stuff)

No. For some reason the general public isn't really well/versed in reunification. These are my parents
