Me: "The social worker is coming over this afternoon and she might ask you what you think about staying a foster family and caring for other children."
David: "Oh, definitely! I want to stay a foster family. What about you Anthony?"
Anthony: "It's hard work. I want to take a break."
-------------------------
Anthony is having a hard time with the end of the school year. He was really sad to say goodbye and when he is sad it comes out as irritability and defiance. To be honest, I think I am the same way sometimes. I'm just thankful that the reasons for his behavior changes are becoming more obvious to me.
He's right, though, we do need to take a break....his heart is healing and he deserves as much security and predictability as we can give him.
