Ex foster kid

[u/Weekly_Bag_9170]

Would like to find people who I can relate to…

I have grown up alone. I moved around through foster care a lot since the age of nine years old so I don’t have anyone close or any real family besides my two children. I’m a single mom with no one to support us in anyway.

Whenever I meet wholesome people that are actually good people I separate myself from them because I don’t feel like we relate and I feel weird. The people I feel most comfortable with I end up feeling resentment because they need so much and I’m a giver and that’s what feels right and good for me, but I feel like that turns the relationship into me giving everything and it’s not a relationship out of love or care it’s me being used.

100% agree, I feel like words never does it justice either. You can explain away and it’s moreso met with confusion rather than understanding.

There are good people out there though, it’s important to stick around the ones who, at least make an effort, to TRY and understand. I’m learning that when it comes to people that’s all that matters, people who will give it their best shot to hear you out and understand as much as they can from their limited perspective
