6. I'm so sorry.

We had a foster child. We spent a lot of time in family court. Some of the things I saw and heard were, and still are, unbelievable to me. The worst was watching a mother tell her seven year old child, "no I'm telling the judge to take you." And the horror, the fright, the sadness in the child's eyes and vpice, "mommy I'll be good." "no. Too late." comes the heartless reply.

To this day I wonder about that poor kid and so many others I saw there.

I hope that you and your siblings all stayed close.
