I can confirm that as a child I was considered a financial asset for sure.

I was moved from place to place because it made them more money.

Once you age out it's a whole different story.

I remember one group home woman using the Christmas presents she bought (on a budget) as an emotional abuse weapon: "Why aren't you doing what I say, I bought you Christmas presents!"

They're fucked.

Spez: I remember one authority figure telling me "well, it's a sad thing but as you get older people just stop caring" and it sounds harsh, but it was true: look at the adoption numbers. I had to cultivate my own caring relationships and was lucky to know that at an early age! Best honest adult truth explanation that I ever got, observations and experience have confirmed this 100%.

Real life is not near anywhere as pretty as a lot of these fucks think it is.
