You are right foster care sucks and I was told that by a social worker when I considered giving up my son a couple years ago before an attempt at suicide. I just want you to be safe first and foremost. Many people grow up in extreme poverty and in homes that are very abusive. Those that survive are said to be resilient. We need to make you resilient, strong and hopefully happy. You can be and I know it. This may or may not work for you but when I get ultra depressed I watch documentaries about others lives especially those that suffered greatly as children. It reminds me that although I have it bad, I could have had it even worse. Now if that sounds like it would further depress you then don’t even consider it. But if not pic out a couple of your idols and look up their history or search for people who have made it through adversity and hardships. I need you to be strong for me and yourself. You have a future and it does not have to be predetermined by your father, teachers or your counselor. You can prove to them that you are as important in this life as they are regardless of their interpretation.
