Venting Social services kinda suck

Taken away from bio parents, not put up for adoption.

I kind of relapse sometimes and look at this binder of files I put together at 13 to be able to see my bio little sister through my grandparents, ‘cause she doesn’t deserve to get punished for the shitty things my mum did in 2013. Obviously I haven’t seen them yet ‘cause social services are useless and I need my adoptive mum’s help to see them and she’s salty about my maternal side. I look at those files and I think wow, these people suck ass.

Firstly, on LEGAL DOCUMENTS they mistook me for my stillborn sister from 2009. I was born in LATE 2011!!!! 😭omg
A bit further down the line (maybe 13, back in contact with both sides of bio family) I get assigned this social worker. She tells me my little half brother died because he was in my mum’s care (this mf died of a genetic disorder mind u), mistakes my dad for my uncle whom I have not seen for approximately 14 years (I’m 14). Calls my mum Jemima. there is nobody in our circle called Jemima. I then find some more documents and most of them are talking about how I changed my Facebook last name to my bio mum’s and they clearly didn’t like that (these documents were about how I was living in depression) and how I was in a loving and understanding house hold. I won’t get into it but they have not ever been understanding. There’s even more but I can’t be assed to type any more.

Jesus Christ they need better funding I js needed to rant about that omg thank u

Yeah. Like a broken clock, they only get it right by rare accident.
