They’re fostering an 18yo and are surprised that they’re trauma dumping? Holy shit they’re a lawyer they gotta know what kinda shit they were getting into.
That said, the phrasing does make more sense when you’ve realize they don’t fully consider them “theirs” yet. That’s a really fresh relationship
even so, this is a very young person who's trying to rely on the only adult in their life. and this person knowingly took that on themselves. fostering a kid means volunteering to help them through their problems - you don't have to do it, it's something you volunteer for. to try and shirk that responsibility after agreeing to it is extremely shitty.
Yeah I grew up in foster care and am resisting the urge to rage on this whole situation. I remember what it’s like to meet an adult who’s only like a decade older than you and suddenly they’re your sole authority figure and confidant overnight. I don’t know what the legal status of this relationship is. I just assumed “tentatively adopted” wasn’t literal. And I know CPS does that “you’ve already signed onto one kid, so do you want their sibling?” thing all the time. Regardless, it seems like a similar situation and she is not handling it well

The younger ones are cuter and have less trauma and are therefore more deserving of love. I don’t make the rules.
