what I learned

so I was in and out of several foster homes before kindergarten. I have learned though my childhood was just being shuffled from one home to another I have learned it takes a lot to gain someone's trust. Being in and out of foster home breaks trust to so many people. so yes I have trust issues that is because I have been in and out of so may foster homes I cant keep count (ages 1-6). People ask why I have trust issues well when you are shuffled from home to home then it will cause so many trust issues. I was adopted when I was 6 then when I was about 8 my bio dad died then we moved to Iowa from Nebraska in 2010 (I was 10). at age 14 my dad who adopted me began treating me like no father should treat his daughter. He treated me like garbage I have learned not to trust him when he treats me that way. I am 18 now and it has only gotten worse he finds joy in controlling my life and what I do during my free time. I have learned just to leave when he gets controlling I prefer working full shifts since gives him less time to control me. I have learned that it doesn't matter where you come from or what you experienced as a child it matters who the person you are becoming today and how you can impact the world. like for me I come from not the greatest home life (people swear I do but what happens behind closed doors I tend to keep behind closed doors) so the minute I walk into my work place ( I work at a daycare) I put everything from home behind me for those ten hours and I focus on loving the kids I come into contact daily. some I like to think are my own kids as I spend time and teach the kids things their parents don't teach them. I am spending up to 10 hours a day with their kids everyday. there is one kid he will be 3 in October and he didn't know how to put his own shoes on till a few weeks ago when I taught him how to.
