Again, am I the only one who takes this seriously??
Last night, on the phone, their mom casually mentioned “they are trying to TPR us.”
I feigned ignorance, just to see what else she would say, but that was about it. Just laughing off how they’ll have to move the court date because Dad can’t make it to the first one.
This is crazy. Maybe that was just how she handles stress. Maybe she didn’t want me to think she was capable of getting angry. IT’S OKAY TO GET ANGRY WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE ON THE LINE.

Different frame of mind about their kids. That is why their kids are in foster care in the first place. I know that sounds cold but it is the facts. If they treasured their children like they should they would not have made the choices they made that put them in this position. It is so sad. The saddest part is that the parents don’t have the same unconditional love for their kids that the kids have for their parents.
I know there are situations where the parents are limited or mentally disabled that prevent them from making good choices and maybe that is the situation here but so many times it all boils down to selfishness. In our case, selfishness..total disregard for their children costs them all 6 of their children. They are not even together anymore and the bio dad is engaged to another woman and they are “trying to have a baby”. They are both in and out of jail and using drugs and stealing things. Selfishness.
I agree completely that it should be treated as the big deal that it is. I wonder if these bio parents ever wake up and realize what they have lost and what a big deal it REALLY is?
