Important life updates
a week ago
I'll be pretty brief.
A year ago we began fostering my niece after my sister passed away. Recently things with her biological father have deteriorated and escalated, including him yelling and threatening me. He didn't want to follow the case worker's rules and wanted me to break them for him, which I was not willing to do. I witnessed this man strangle my sister some years ago and had to be the one to stop it. I understand what he is capable of with alcohol involved first-hand. I consider him a huge threat right now.
This is why we have not been active this week and I want to focus on security.

You're incredibly strong to keep your niece with that threat of a man being the father, you're kind and an awesome family.
I wish you my best and please take care of yourself too 🫂
Safety first, always!
Inform the authoritie that's handling this, every time he's being difficult. Don't give him a single inch.
You're doing what's best for you and the child, and, ironically enough, what's best for the father.
All the best to you and yours. Be well!
I know how hard fostering can be. Not fun.
