What's happening now

[MangoLoop]

So, I stopped coming on for a while. I called the cops a few minutes before my Dad got home from work and told them everything. They got there while he was hurting me. They took me and Jay away from my Dad. We spent a week or two in a group home.
We are living in a foster home with a pretty nice couple, Maria and Kevin, right now. It's a little weird. Jay is doing really well but i'm still having some trouble. I can't adjust to eating 3 meals a day and I don't know how they like things done. I don't really know what the consequences for doing something wrong are.
Me and Jay both have our own rooms, but Jay won't sleep in his. He always winds up coming and sleeping in mine. Kevin wound up putting a little cot in my room, but Jay sleeps in my bed anyways.
I think things are better. I don't hurt all the time any more. I have a fractured wrist and a busted collar bone right now, but otherwise i'm feeling better than I have in years.

It's good to know you're doing well :]

I'm glad your dad is out of the picture and that you can start to move on :)

[Nathan Numberless]

Well, I'm glad to see that you're living a normal life :D
By the way, normal parents don't hit their children as a 'consequence' for misdoings, they don't hit their children at all. Anyway good luck adjusting to regular amounts of food and care, just don't get complacent now! ;)

I don't know how they like things done. I don't really know what the consequences for doing something wrong are.

Just, try stuff and see what you can get away with.

[Noirtier]

That's great that you got yourself away from your dad and that he's out of your life! I wish you the best for your future!

I broke a glass while getting Jay some orange juice. I locked Jay in my room and went out to get my punishment. Apparently breaking a cup is not a huge offense here... So that's new.

:) I know how that is. I know how weird it is to adjust to not being hurt for small things. Slowly, slowly you get used to it. You get confused as heck every now and then when people don't hurt you for doing things you think you should get hurt for, but you will be okay in time. You ALREADY are okay.

I'm glad you got out of that situation, and you're strong and brave for doing what you did to get out. You're in a GOOD place now. No one will hurt you anymore. You may need counseling to help speed up the adjustment process, and to fully understand this.

Best of luck with your new life :)

That's great to hear that you are doing well now. The anticipating problems is normal, you get so used to a bad enviornment you come to expect it. Just give it some time.

The other thing is, I don't know if you had a say in choosing who your foster parents are, but you definately have a say in keeping them if you like them. Make sure you tell social services at whatever meetings you have with them that you like them. I don't know how old you are, but since you are a teenager they have to at least consider your input.

This is really good news. I can totally relate to what you're saying, and I hope everything falls into place soon and you become more comfortable. I like how you're going with the flow of things and keeping your face up. I know you may not feel like it, but you're being strong for you and Jay. I wish you tons and tons of luck. <3
