hey guys ( this is my experience of being in care there may be some TWs )
I went into care at 7 years old, i was poorly that day i had left to move but i was sad but i knew hopefully my new 'mum and dad' loved me 9 turns out they didn't.
years went by i became older i grew then i turned 11, i went walking to meet my partner i got raped. TW. I went back home i was so sad i couldn't talk to anyone.
I then moved into year 8 me and my partner was happy and i was getting stalked and raped and i got told if i told i would die. My foster carers didn't look after me, they treated me like a rag doll. i really thought no-one will ever love me. i then got told i could move back with my dad ( it didnt work out ) i then got moved back into foster care i got moved 11 times.
I got raped by one and i feel like a burden.
if you want to hear the rest then i will just this is hard to share, @Anch0r33 thank you for letting me write this

I hope you feel happy and proud of yourself for sharing. It can really feel empowering to control your words and share your story.
You're very strong and I hope you feel able to share more in the future if you feel that you wish to do so. The space is always here for you
i felt scared haha! but thank you

I was trapped in side my own head i got help with nothing i felt a disgrace. i finally had so many court hearings my social worker said it is best you move back to your dads that was tough.
At first i stayed with a foster family and the brother was really touchy feeling which i did not like he was 21.
i then started moving bits back at my dads when i got raped again. i then found out i lost my mother. my dad said what a horrible 'girl' as he called me i was. he made it look like that i did not care about my mum and that if i had it i would of stayed out drinking (which wasnt true ) and i had kept all this is. he then stated he did not want me as his 'daughter' and that he wanted me out of his life because i did not say goodbye to my mum.
i then got moved back into the foster care system and i broke down. i was living with situations i could not handle, i thought every day i was going to get raped or touched by my foster brother that i had enough of everything and left.
after 5 days of going missing the police found me i went back and it carried on.
i will keep adding @Anch0r33 i added more
its okay i am out now and alive
