Wow, this story truly cuts me deep because I know it all too well!!! My story differs slightly from this girls, but the feelings were the same. You cannot understand the feelings if you have not had the experience. Now take this girls story, and add 3 more children, all close to two years difference in age. My duty as the oldest was to protect my sisters to the very best of my ability from the damaging things that I saw, heard and felt. I wanted them to have as normal a life as possible. We were taken from our home more then once and each time I was the comforter, I was the one that told my siblings things were going to be okay. I was the one that loved them and took care of them. I pushed my feelings aside, I had to be strong for them, I needed them to know I was going to keep them safe from what ever dangers we may encounter. I feel a little emotional watching this because this girl explains it so perfectly, the feeling of being unwanted, unloved and worthless. I would find myself thinking, if there is a God, where is he? We bounced from home to home, there was once a point where we were separated, but I would not rest until I had my other two sisters safely with me. Which I was able to accomplish because lucky for me I had the most amazing foster mother I could ever have asked for. It takes a true woman to take in 4 young girls whom she knew nothing about, all she knew is they had been through much trauma and needed all the love they could get, on top of having a mentally-handicapped daughter herself to take care of. RIP my dearest foster Mother Debbie Shupe, I will be forever grateful for your sacrifices to reunite my with my beautiful little sisters!
