  • You’re a good person. I don’t normally share, but I feel I should.

    I was put in foster care when I was 6/7 (I don’t remember well).

    When I was 12, after 7 foster homes, my parents lost all parental rights. I was put up for adoption.

    At that time, I was still with one of my brothers in a foster home.

    We were told a couple was interested in us. We meet them a number of times, and had a few weekends at their place to test run it. They weren’t great, but they weren’t worse than other foster homes, so we decided to give it a try.

    My brother lasted about 9 months before asking to go back to foster care. I decided to stay, because I was tired of moving.

    I was adopted at 14, and moved out on my own at 17. I was tired of being reminded I was broken in some ways.

    Fast forward to me being 21 and in the navy. We start talking again. By then I was beginning to learn what I now consider my personal morals. He was still racist. I wasn’t.

    Fast forward to a few years ago. He’s still wildly racist. More so than before. I am now a very liberal person, advocating for homeless rights foster youth assistance, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equality all around. I have finally had enough. I call his bullshit out. About 2 years passes, and his 14th heart attack takes him.

    That was 2 years ago. My oldest is 24. My next oldest is 18. They never met him. I just couldn’t bring myself to introduce them to the old school hate.








  • That’s not how this works. This will be the last time I ever interact with you.

    I won’t stoop to your level with insults, I’ll just leave you with this: I fly 4 flags at my house: American, pride, Ukraine, and Palestine.

    You spend so much time attacking us for some made up thing, when the truth is simple: your unbearable with your constant attack on anybody that doesn’t agree with you. I WILL be voting for Harris, because a vote for ANYBODY else is a vote for Trump, and there are MANY more issues I worry about.

    • Homeless rights
    • Feeding low income families
    • LGBTQIA+ rights - I have a trans child, and a gay child
    • Ensuring we don’t get a dictator

    … And on and on.

    YOU, for some reason, think it’s a simple thing, but it’s not.

    Goodbye.
