I tried for years to help her. We sought out theraphy but little helped. She was troubled, angry and destructive. After I divorced her dad I seldom heard from her. <br />I heard from a therapist once that children inpain often act out towards the person they feel the safest with - at the time tht was me. I should have felt better - but then all I felt was defeat.

It does burn, even when I know it is not directed at me personally but comes from the experiences they have lived through. The students who make me the saddest are the ones that never let the flames escape but keep them bottled up where they burn themselves.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-16113186888309793782013-04-03T12:24:58.229-06:002013-04-03T12:24:58.229-06:00Reflective and powerful as so much of your writing...Reflective and powerful as so much of your writing on this topic is. You capture this rage. It makes me so sad and yet I know you are not without hope. Hope from your personal relationship with Jesus and from the deep love that flows from that to your sons.

This sounds like an apt analogy to the foster feelings. I love that you wrote about it, and asked that final question.
