I have to say, Mr. Notes, who is exceptionally honest thought this was judgemental. if you see it that way please feel free to comment. I need correction at times and appreciate your honesty.

Not judgemental at even the slightest.

This has deeply resonated with me because I often find myself right on the line between my empathy writing a whole defence for them and aiding me to be well.. an idiot. But similar to you i don't want to lose that part of myself yet don't want to be stupid though I'm aware. I can't seem to find that balance.. maybe one day I will.. this was incredible to read.. with every scene and the way your thought process goes really was comforting.. thanks for putting it out here soo vividly.

As always a wonderful read. The world needs more kind people. Some people don’t deserve it though, but the children and animals always do.

I can relate to the struggle of warning to give people the benefit of the doubt. we also need to be discerning and not let our empathy blind us to the reality of someone’s situation.

This was quite an insightful post dear.

Poor kids. Yeah, not all foster homes are well put together. But there is a difference between a little chaotic and a lack of care.

I don't think it's judgemental, it's honest. You gave them the benefit of the doubt..

That was a well put together piece. Lots of good points there.
