Fostercare Community

If I'm going to date, I *need* someone who understands mental illness and has emotional maturity

I've had a long childhood, there's just no way to deny or go around it. I have some abandonment issues, and I've been through fostercare. I have good friends, but it's nerve wracking to find a romantic partner, especially since I've never had one...

Honor your mother&your father,you never know when it will come a time you will never see them again,I never got that chance being in fostercare all my life,til adolescence, knowing my biological mother died without my knowing,how&why til the last minute,I know talk to her spirit at her grave.

I am an aspired poet since I was 15yrs old,introverted, but not well know,hardly any friends to call me,or pick up the phone,sometimes I feel it's best to walk alone,raised in fostercare, Brooklyn was my home,mama didn't raise me,fostercare paraded me,a life of loneliness evades me,tears cascade me
