Some folks see one of their parents as good and the other bad. The bad parent may have been abusive and/or had problems with alcohol and/or drugs or perhaps mental illness. The other parent was seen as good for not having been engaged in those behaviors deemed bad. However, in some of these situations, the good parent was non-protective and may have relied on the one seen as bad to be an enforcer of behavior and may have even sought to have you tolerate that parent.

Never lose hope because things can change. Circumstances and situations change, sometimes in the blink of an eye and sometimes over a few years. I like spending time outdoors, so I think of change as weather patterns and seasons. Using this as a metaphor, we dress appropriately for the daily weather and for each season, we must also take care of our mental health through the changes and challenges that life throws at us.

Anyone who knows Florida child welfare and Florida journalism knows that if a birth parent had two children taken from her because of abuse, then allegedly killed a third child who was allowed to stay in the home, the Miami Herald would be doing story after story blaming “family preservation” for the tragedy – and setting off another foster-care panic.
