I Hated My Foster Parents

<p>My Foster Dad was named Paul, which happened to be my Dad&rsquo;s name and my middle name.</p> <p>But that is where the similarities between my parents and my foster parents ended.</p> <p>And where similarities with Katie&rsquo;s foster Mom begin.</p> <p>Martha and Paul had rules and were strict in how they applied the rules and violations of the rules.</p> <p>My childhood was pretty loose and relaxed. There weren&rsquo;t many rules.</p> <p>I could watch all the Television I wanted, stay up late, and eat what I wanted, including tons of sugar cereal, and homework was something to be ignored.</p> <p>While that might sound like a childhood dream, in reality, it was the opposite of what I needed &mdash; I didn&rsquo;t fully understand that at the time.</p> <blockquote> <p>Children Need Boundaries even if they hate them.</p> </blockquote> <p>My brothers and sisters were six in total. My oldest sister and I were placed with Martha and Paul, and the other four were placed with a family who owned a dairy farm. My Youngest sister joined us later on.</p> <p>So we were not only separated from our Mom but also from each other.</p> <p>Paul was an architect, and Martha was a homemaker. They were well off compared to our poor upbringing.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-daily-cuppa-grande/i-hated-my-foster-parents-732a527a5118">Visit Now</a></p>
