Please do me the respect of just not commenting if you have something rude to say. This is a really sensitive subject and really, I'm only posting here because I need to vent and some advice and seeing some familiar names on here made me realize just how much this place was like family at one time.
So my dad had three daughters after he and my mom split. They were all placed in foster homes and split up. Harmony and Melodie were granted "sibling visitation" by the court, but Harmony had ADHD and is Bi-Polar, so she had to be placed in a special home. Or rather, 45 homes in a matter of 10 years (because our foster system likes to fuck those who are already fucked up a little more). About 2 years ago, I found them on Myspace and that's when I found out about my youngest sister, Lyric. (Interesting enough, I was already pregnant with our youngest son, Lyrik and had already chosen the name). I also talked to my Dad for the first time in 20 years as a result of finding my sisters. So it's safe to say that my emotions are a bit on the crazed side as of late.
Long story short, Harmony decided to date an abusive piece of shit that got her pregnant. After the second time he beat the shit out of her and told her he was going to cut their baby out of her womb because he didn't want her to be the mother of his child, she finally got it through her head that she should leave, so she called me. She's been here for almost a month and is due Dec 31.
I'm at my witts-end with this girl. She's JUST like me at 22... and y'all knew me at 22, so y'all know what I'm talking about. But she's worse. She has no self respect and is so not ready to be a mom. She's never had a job, never been taught to drive. She literally owns nothing, we got her an ID when she moved here and she had never EVER had identification before. But, like me, she has a good heart and the more I get to know her, the more I see her true beauty. It's so fucking depressing how fucked up our foster system is here. 45 homes in 10 years? Just think about that for a minute.
Anyway, she's also like me in the sense that she's a rock and roll bitch who lives her life with a constant soundtrack playing in the background. She reacts well to lyrics and music. So I am making her a cd to help her feel better. I literally have to spend 24/7 with her or she becomes hysterical and I just can't do it. I'm driving myself insane. So I bought her an IPOD and am in the process of filling it with badass songs.
What songs do y'all listen to when you're angry/depressed? She LOVES Tech and is a fucking clown-lover (sorry ICP fans, I just don't get that shit).
