7 years ago I took in a 16 year old kid whose Parents kicked him out. He was my Son's best friend and I didn't have the heart to say "no". I told his Father then that he would turn 18 and not want anything to do with them if they didn't fix their relationship with him right away. They didn't take my advice. Things actually got worse. Then at Christmas time during covid, they basically told him he wasn't welcome around ANY of his family if he wasn't vaccinated. He's 23 years old now and still lives with me. He rarely speaks to his parents. This makes me very sad, but looking back I would have taken him sooner. He has so much emotional damage from his parents and it pisses me off 🥺 I can't imagine life without him now. He is my kid.
@Real___iTamara One of my sons friend’s lived with us for yrs as he’d been in bad foster homes his whole life, dad dead & mom in and out of jail. He is my kids older brother and another son to me. He’s now a nuclear engineer in the Navy.
