Becoming a Foster Child
Parents Arrest
It was in May of 2015 when my whole life turned around. My mother wouldn’t allow my father at our home so he wasn’t around a lot, my mother was dating a man named Jason. At first I thought Jason was good, I thought he would help my mom but it turns out he was just like all of my parents friends. They were all drug addicts. He is the one that turned my life around because he started selling illegal substances out of my home. Everyday after I came home from school I could smell the drugs and the stench would stick to my clothes when I left for school.

My mom on the other hand has started living with a drug addicts and happened to fail her last drug test. As of now she will still be on three hour visits. Soon my Father will start all day visits and a month after that overnight visits. We will most likely go to live with our father if our mother doesn’t correct her
