@fosterhood My love for this photo is beyond words. I have been here for more than 3034 days watching, learning, hoping. I am so thrilled that the craziness is finally over for all of you. Permanency for the win!

[Broken Parent @ParentBroken]

Yep. Working on it. It’s a journey that can be hard some days

@fosterhood I am so happy for you and for your girls. I’ve been reading since before Jacket and admire your strength and your amazing advocacy for your girls and their rights. Time for an epic party, virtual or in person it will be adoption day that will be celebrated by so many.

@Mothering4Money Aww thanks. Things are hard and when they are hard I get quiet and stay away from media, lots of deep breaths & trying to push through each day as it comes, depression sucks & the big life changes are just so complex.

[Broken Parent @ParentBroken]

@Mothering4Money Wow, that’s crazy and such a bad use of system that could be so much better.

@kahnkidz It is such a gong show, our board announced a pushing of first day of school to post labour day and a graduated entry but no word on how that will look. My girl is staying home so less of an issue for me but insanity for kids who need to know what’s happening in their world

@tblanchfield I was 5 when the first died, then 13, 26 and 26, both grandfathers in there 80’s and my grandmothers were in their late 90’s.

@caspertk Oh how I wish I could come! That will be a great conversation!

@kristenhowerton Canada is a reasonable option, when Trump was elected the immigration site crashed. There are lots of Americans ( mostly in urban centres) here and some of whom thought they would go back after a few years but are still here. Open arms, head north.

#Myth: Individuals with FASD have a low IQ. Fact: A study found that 70% of kids with an #FASD had an IQ of 70 or higher and therefore rarely qualify for DD services or the help in school that their disability warrants. | Are you #FASDaware?

I’m ready for a nap, it’s 11:20... keeping yourself busy to avoid the trauma work you need to do is exhausting.

[Broken Parent @ParentBroken]

Even though I know leaving my partner is the right choice and there is a part of me that is excited to find a new normal this morning I feel like this move will be the hardest thing I have ever done.

[Broken Parent @ParentBroken]

Struggling this morning with the reality of trauma memories for my kid and the constant pain that it causes her. A child should be able to sleep in her home without worrying about someone who no longer lives here being able to hurt her. #metoo #traumaishard #tryingtohelpher

@kahnkidz Ok. Happy to make some for you if you change your mind. Have been making them for friends and family and have down to a pretty quick process.

I needed the joy this brought my heart tonight
