YSK: Sometimes fostering just doesn't work out.

databender@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 153 points –

I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.

Don't we have an OffMyChest sub or something? YSK and TIL should be about factual and verified info, not personal experiences...

Agree, OPs experience sucks and it’s good perspective but YSK should be focused on facts.

Aaaand now !goodoffmychest exists. I am not intending to squat on this, so I'll set the foundation and people can talk to me if they want to become mods. <3
