The Past Repeats

There are some movies about foster care and foster children and the effects that each have on the other. These movies are more educational then entertaining. Entertaining in the sense that they aren't comedies or action films, rather drama or "chick flicks". These are not the kind of movies that people leave the movie theater saying "Oh I have got to watch that again, it was cool!" instead people leave hugging their significant other a little tighter. They go home and look at their children and are thankful that their lives are a little easier then one they just saw unfold. Hopefully these movies touch people so deeply that they want to help and make a difference in the life of a foster child. These movies in no way, shape, or form sensationalize being a foster child who is being given a raw deal. With all this said, I ask you, why would some people want to take the life of a foster child and make it theirs? Why would you want to tell people this is your life? It makes me down right mad when I catch someone in their own web of lies about a life that isn't theirs. Some children in foster care are lucky enough to have wonderful placements with wonderful outcomes. Those of you who take a foster kids horrible life and try to make it yours need to seek therapy. It's bad enough we have to live with it, we certainly wouldn't want someone else to live that. Hell we didn't want to live it ourselves. We had no choice, no help, and no one to turn to. By the time we ran across someone to turn to we were already cold against the world. I certainly don't trust people easily and those I do are few and far between. So I would consider it a personal favor if you would just be yourself. Don't take a foster kids horrible life or stories and make them yours. Don't you know it was painful enough to live through the first time? By doing this your making it possible for the past to relive itself, again.
