The funny thing, about parent's intentions and learning how to continue on via gaining a life after their children are taken from them for bogus reasons- for them to keep on living and surviving with HOPE, (especially with hope to explain and change the reason,)- those, (the children,) who have been involved within society's structure- just can't seem to forgive. No matter, what the parent has been through and no matter how much the parent has fought for them. Everything seems to be lost when it comes to eventually getting a hold of them when they're of age, or even communicating with the ones who know and witnessed what the parents went through. By the time this all can come about, the child is usually grown, has their own opinions and become JUDGE and JURY! The parent suffers, twice over.
What do you do? Unfortunately, once a kid is put into the system, the family has to wait until this child becomes of age. They've already been programmed into believing what they have been told all of their life and more than likely, it's something completely against your character.
But, what happens, when a child is a victim of circumstance, is returned to their parent while their siblings are taken because the younger siblings were of, "adoptable age," and the eldest was too old to be adopted out? What if that child holds anger, but will deny this fact? And... what if this child was upset in the fact of the parent speaking out?
They're angry because the parent couldn't keep them together- they're angry because they were too old to be adopted. They forget to see what the parent has been through, how the parent has fought and what makes them the angriest is, the parent has continued, his/her life, just to stay alive and have some sort of, HOPE in the process..
To these kids- trust me, hearts are so broken during the process of Social Services and... due to lies- more often than not. Parents get so tired of dealing with them. Families who have been victimized by the Social Services Department- people have to learn how to contine on- unless the main intention is to watch parents kill themselves.
A Note to you kids, who have witnessed what your parents have gone through- forgive them for thier downfalls- for being human! I bet, you will make many mistakes too. Your parents have fought tooth and nail for you, but it gets hard when you're fighting, "society." It is not to you to be, judge and jury. They have tried- more beyond your comprehention to bring you home. ONCE A CHILD IS IN THE SYSTEM, regardles if they're returned or not, learn to forgive your parent for being a parent. Give them a chance.
For the adult kids- if your mother/father gets a hold of you, don't jusge them, but understand where they come from. Learn to forgive them of their mistakes, and listen to their heart... BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER...
My mother was a single mom, and to say the least our life was rough. Actually, I still live with her, and it still is. I'm not fond of the current "system," myself. Ever been into a welfare office? I can almost sympathize with the way the workers treat everyone like dirt.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your reply Edward. Yes, life is rough, but if it is lived through with love and support of each other, then it's not quite as bad as it seems. My philosophy is, It could be a whole lot worse! *chuckle*
ReplyDeleteMany, many, years ago, I had to deal with the, "system." They were terribly nasty then, and I can only imagine how horribly nasty they are now. I've lived through the time of when putting a price on a child's head, just to line the pockets of the social worker came about. Since this time, that particular program has had plenty of time to get established and fine-tuned. Families are torn apart, lives are devastated, and unfortunately, everyone affected is left to pick up the pieces. Blessings...
