I have never posted before. I have been lurking for a few days and have decided to give it a try. The subject of child abuse caught my eye. I can relate to this subject. I wanted to share my experience.
My mom came In when I was very young. So you can say I was raised in the "Truth".
She was raising 4 children and taking care of a sick husband. When I was 6 I came home from school to find a social worker telling me my mom was in the hospital. I don't remember the exact details but I have this memory of my sisters and me at the Kingdom Hall after a meeting being sent home with Witness families. My baby sister S and I went home with this young Witness couple FPs and my other sister went with an older family friend Granny. I am not sure who my oldest sister ended up with.
The FPs already were signed up to be foster parents because they wanted to try to adopt a baby.
Long story short- my mom was in and out of the hospital (mental break down)l and we were in and out of foster homes. The FPs had S and me for 9 months the first time.
My mom got DF during that time.(not sure why). While staying with the FPs I remember them telling us what an unfit mother we had.
and how we would be better off staying with them. They we
I remember the way they talked about my mom. Very unkind. They would call her unfit.
