O is gone for the weekend, and I am ok on the surface, but feeling vaguely depressed/despondent on the inside. :cry: It's not helping that O's behavior has been horrendous this past week, so I am feeling mixed feelings about him being gone this weekend. Part of me is relieved, and the rest of me feels horribly guilty for feeling relieved.

I understand where you are coming from, Heather. Those guilt feelings come to all of from time to time. Continued hugs and prayers.

(I told DH this morning that this situation is one reason I have hesitations about foster care).

sounds like its part of the survival mechanism... I think its just fine to feel relieved. Doesn't make you a bad person, or a bad mom... it helps make it easier for everyone when the separation occurs.

((hugs)) what a difficult time.

Post Re: Feb 8th (UPDATE)
We had a crisis last night that resulted in my DFS leaving our home this morning. I had to ask CW to remove him from our home because of his continued aggressive behavior toward Danny (my 7 yr old). I'm not sure why Danny became the target for his emotional and behavioral venting, but it became an unsafe situation that I just couldn't tolerate. CW decided to just move him to bio dad's a few days early, so that's where he is now. I am so tired, emotionally drained, and angry at the system that failed a little boy who had come so far only to have to start over.

I am so sorry it came to this, my heart breaks for him and his loss of a stable loving home, and for you that lost a son that had a chance to be more with you than his bio parents.

He may have acted out out of anger over the situation, it's hard for kids with unstable lives to handle change well and they act out in a fight for control.

Words can not express my sorrow of this situation. I feel so sad for you and especially DFS. Will continue to pray for all!

How hard! Praying for you and for all involved. And just wanted to say, that even though things ended badly, remember how much good you did for this little one. We never know how our influence will work in someone's life and he may not appreciate it until later but you were a stable loving person for him.
