Children draw their wishes and fears ...and this helps them create a safe reality.Even if we think Mom is doing a poor job they are clefted to her.Even the most troubled children I knew at work talked well about their parents at time fantasy things..but JJ says so much truth..people in power in homes can be abusive as society has learned.some are drawn to this knowing the children are vulnerable..so their own territory is safer a;though not to your standards..Good people have been Godsends to many children in care but how do we know.

some of what you will be feeling is overwhelmed that you missed this..but Dee..you always think kindly about people..love your kindness here.
Children are beautiful and deserve someone like you in their lives
