In a previous blog posting, you mentioned a ...Amy,<br /><br />In a previous blog posting, you mentioned a friend of yours who spent her first seven years of life in foster care and on/off placements with her abusive biological mother.<br /><br />You wrote that three states kept giving her back to her mother, in between abusive foster homes. Not surprisingly, your friend was damaged by this experience.<br /><br />You also wrote that there were at least some loving people in your friend's life (thank God!) who were persistent in their love for her and belief in her ability to become the wonderful person that she is today.<br /><br />I would like to ask your friend for her insights... As a former foster child, I am planning a workshop on intimacy. <br /><br />What I'd like to cover are issues like:<br />- Trust<br />- Attachment issues<br />- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder <br />- Other lingering damage (particularly for rape victims, and the aftermath of sexual abuse)<br />- Healing and establishing long-term connections<br /><br />I've created a blog to start a discussion going, and also to post my research: http://fostercareattachment.blogspot.com/<br /><br />She (and you!!) can post either in person or anonymously in response to blog entries (your choice, depending on how personal the issue might be).<br /><br />I value your insights and feedback,<br />Lisa DicksonLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944993180509479994noreply@blogger.com
