    Is foster care the right option for me?
    I was sexually abused by my mums ex boyfriend, and ever since she found out she's been off with me.
    I now go to camhs and she is embarrassed and ashamed that I go.
    We constantly argue and when I try to talk to her about how I'm feeling or what's going on in my head, she just says 'oh there's always something wrong with you' or 'do you enjoy the attention you spoiled cow'
    It's been happening for 2 years ow and its really distressing for me, I can't concentrate at school and I dread coming home.
    I feel like this is all my fault, I shouldn't have told her about the abuse.
    Bug I was wondering if foster care is the best option for me?
    I can't carry on living with her, she doesn't want me to, she told me the other week. But I don't want to live with any other family member. I want to start afresh.
    So what do you think?
    Thanks, Jade x

    Why do you think that foster care is even a option? Sorry but I see little that says you qualify for foster care. You do need to discuss with a school counselor and perhaps social services may get involved, but I would see that they may try to get conseling for the family,

    Next why do you think foster care would be a "good" thing, while there are good foster parents most are in it for money to care for child and you will not find love or caring
