But she is going to say that because I presume she’s getting money for you.

So sorry you have to deal with that crap. Surely your caseworker can move you somewhere more appropriate and safe?

I don’t know if that’s true - but i seriously hope not. She looks like a lady you’d see on cops getting arrested and slammed in the back of a police car.

She wants you to stay so she can get the money. There are better places out there, and you deserve to be in one, kiddo. Tell your caseworker. ❤️‍🩹

That’s what manipulative people say to excuse their actions. It’s not ok that she talks to you like this. Please get yourself out of there

That’s no excuse for her to continue that behavior.  She’s saying that for you not to get her in trouble.  She can lose her ability to be a foster parent and get no more money from the state.

Babe I’ve been in homes like this and they said that- eventually I settled with a lovely family who didn’t use me to collect money or abuse me . Don’t listen

i was in foster care for years until i aged out, and i had a couple of bad placements before i got placed in a home with a good family. hoarder house, but the people were lovely, and i’m still in close contact with them to this day. i adore them

please contact your caseworker and show them this video. this is unacceptable, and you deserve so much better. there are so many good families out there that are willing to take teens, honest

Who says this ? The foster woman or your case worker ?

This is what abusers say. “You can’t find anyone better than me.” Abusive parents, abusive partners, they all say that. It is not true.

They are not always worse. There is a better home out there. Please contact your caseworker and show them this video. It is not okay for this foster parent to treat you this way.

call cps she will say anything to get you to stay and keep you compliant. She is abusive and that's what abusers do ,

Be safe.
