I’ve been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we’re giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you’re in the same place please don’t beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.
True. However good on you guys for stepping up to the plate and at least attempting to be there for your family member. It sucks that sometimes you aren’t equipped to deal with the situation, whatever it was, but you have to look out for your own kids first here.
