It has come to this. I am quitting as a Treatment Foster Parent.
Perhaps we simply out-grew the agency we worked for, or perhaps the agency failed to meet its obligations, but in any event I cannot bring myself to continue a relationship with them.
In retrospect, the agency has not provided what it was obligated to do. At least from a parental support role. I take some responsibility for this, as I know I intimidated the agency staff, and I did little or nothing to dispel that. This is still not a justifiable reason to fail to support their homes or fail to work in the best interests of the children they are charged with.
To this agency I say fu*k you! You need to figure out what your job is and then do it.
To the manager of this agency - You need to understand that all of the agencies (courts, county, private care, mental health providers, schools, ect.) DO NOT work well together. They all have different priorities and that causes friction. When you stop thinking that its one big happy family and start seeing the dysfunction you will be able to problems solve. Right now all you can do is slap band-aids all over the place and they don't fix sh!t!
For the kids I have been able to care for - I am looking forward to getting my house back and if any of you wish to send cash to repair the damage to my domicile, cars, personal property or anything else you busted, you know where I am!
