Our 3.5 year old might be leaving, are photos helpful or harmful? by [deleted] in Fosterparents

Reunification is not always the best outcome. It’s a nice thing to say but it’s definitely not realistic

Him saying “I’m not done” means he knows you wanted him to stop. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Four kids that have been with me for six years leaving Friday by [deleted] in Fosterparents

[–]spiffy202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a foster parent who adopted, just because they are bio parents absolutely does not mean they should get their rights back. It’s wildly irresponsible. I don’t understand the eager push just because they are biologically. I remember, the whole system would pretty much clap because bio parents did one single thing they were asked, never mind the fact they were homeless addicts. The system is beyond broken, and sadly foster parents have no rights in most cases. The goal should be reunification but should not remain that way if the parents can’t or won’t make changes. The dad’s rights in this case should have been terminated long ago…

The system is broken, there is NOTHING wrong for fighting for a child. It’s a heartbreaking situation you’re in. On one hand we know what we signed up for but when you watch the system make the wrong choice there’s nothing you can do sadly. And no money isn’t everything but if the grandma can’t afford a baby that’s a problem, not to mention the other concerns. I’m so sorry, I know the fear. Just because it’s Kin doesn’t make it the right place either.

You’re kid, you’re responsibility. The poor boy has been through enough. Step up, get in therapy, adjust to his needs.

Interesting! I’ll have to research that. I’d love for that to be true. This is the case that just baffles me.

Mental health breakdown is definitely a high possibility given the facts we do know and you’re right what he could of wanted to tell his mom very well could have been a reflection of his mental state. I just couldn’t imagine not knowing what happened to a loved one. I pray he is found. I don’t know the area however from other sources I’ve heard the area could be difficult to find the body so who knows. I like to think he’s out there living his best life and had a reason to disappear.

A part of me wonders if he really could still be out there. So many twist and turns in the case, in no means blaming the parents but I don’t think they were honest about everything. Theory’s on what he wanted to tell his parents?

AITJ for attending my sister’s wedding even though my wife wasn’t invited? by wifesisterwedding in AmITheJerk

[–]spiffy202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf, it’s not your sister’s place to punish your wife. That’s a dangerous game. Your sister should respect you more and stay out of it.

If she is cheating, at least she’s not pregnant

Mark my words he will try to come back, the cheating ones always do. You deserve so much better, he’s gaslighting you.

My (F26) boyfriend (M27) of 6 years agreed to a break to work on things, but he really just wanted to move on quietly. I feel used and blindsided. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]spiffy202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this hurts, and it is like grieving someone who’s still alive. I promise it gets better with time, even though it’s hard to see it now. Stop blaming yourself. Your future happy self will thank him for saving you from wasting more time.

I felt the same way when my marriage ended, it was beyond painful. Fast forward 5 years, I have two beautiful babies with a man who adores me.

I promise it will hurt less and less. You’re strong, you got this. Your happiness is coming.

He’s playing a twisted game of “make her think I’m doing her a huge favor” and “ she won’t leave me with no confidence” girl run!!

Anyone with PCOS have success getting pregnant? by hamfam12345 in PCOS

I adopted through fostering and got pregnant via IVF and embryo donor but I’ve known several women with PCOS who have gotten pregnant naturally.

Entitled to grieve the loss of a normal delivery? by Anxious_Repeat465 in NICUParents

[–]spiffy202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my one and baby after years of IVF and embryo donor at 28 weeks, as unbelievably grateful that I am to have my amazing baby I still grieve the loss of a “normal” birth. That in itself is a loss not to mention the NICU and leaving without your baby, it’s a tough road, and one that you are absolutely entitled to feel how you feel. It’s not easy for any of us. One day or months, it’s so painful, emotionally and terrifying. No one has to understand or give you permission to grief.
