- Brendan's community became his home when he moved from house to house after his parents left him with his three brothers and a sister when he was 4 at a shopping mall.
They never came back.
Although those communities became the connecting thread throughout the chapters of Maguire’s life, his childhood is defined by his grit.
Brendan Maguire was elected as the MLA to represent Halifax Atlantic in the October 2013 election.
Brendan ’s rich and varied work experience has taken him to Europe and back. He taught English as a second language in the Czech Republic and to new immigrants in England.
Brendan is also a committed and busy volunteer, lending his time and talents to HomeBridge Youth Society and Phoenix House. Brendan was an immigrant at age 4 and did not become a citizen of Canada until age 16. He understands the importance of immigration to the province and is proud he is able to call Nova Scotia home. Brendan grew up in foster care in several communities throughout the riding of Halifax Atlantic - Spryfield, Herring Cove, and Harrietsfield. His passion and love for the community is clearly evident in his and his wife Rena’s decision to live and raise their son, Oliver, here.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I was abandoned at 18 months old. Thrown into foster care, I have finally healed from the pain no words can explain. I am now 57. Much love to you. Much love...
How long did it take you to heal?
When did you start?
What steps did you take to heal?
How do you feel now?
I am so sorry that this happened to you. Please feel admired for staying strong and loved ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 60 with a frighteningly similar experience. My children are doing well considering how broken their father is. I thank god for the beautiful woman who was the angel that was needed to see us all through it. I still have damage from my childhood. I think we never really heal from it. But if we are lucky we cope. Bless you for sharing.
I was abandoned when I was 5 years old. my mom left me for the man who molested me. Yes she knew.
Im now 25 and I'm still no where near healed. I'm still extremely angry
I don't think you ever heal. There is always a trigger for the feeling of loneliness very deep in our hearts. We learn to forgive and choose to feel better me no to give up to the sadness deep in our heart. But hey! This is life and we only get one, let's try to enjoy it.
The way he pauses sometimes and coughs inbetween sentences, you can clearly tell the hurt still lies deep within. I am so happy for him that he had the strength to carry on in life
thats why I will never get married and have children, until I’m sure I can take the responsibility, I don’t want my pain to pass onto them, even I already made peace with it
Same...
I once read that you can also pass on your healing to your children 🙂
@@Jullebratzia maybe, but not willing to take the risk yet
Likewise.
same
Have not cried like this since I was a boy. So much love goes out to everyone from my heart.
I almost cried myself to sleep over my mom disowning me .. but then I saw this
Autumn Cook I used cry myself to sleep asking why my biological father left me
@chrissy ot I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Stay strong Chrissy and autumn, I think you hear this a lot but their leaving is not your fault. If they want to leave, we have to learn to let go too. Stay strong for the ones who are supporting you and most importantly, for yourself.
my husband has just abandoned me and I hope I have the right words for my baby when she is able to talk and knows her situation.
You are not alone in this, many of us are chosen to be survivors of these situations.
Chrissy ot I’m sorry for your pain as well as yours Autumn .
I too need to tell my story , yet hesitate for fear of being abandoned by the mother who abused & abandoned me .
Funny how even as adults like a loyal child we cling to our abusers .The bible says those abandoned by their parents , God adopts & claims as his own . Remember the childhood game , you hide something in one hand behind your back & someone else picks a hand & if they guess right they get what’s in your hand . Sometimes what we need from someone they can’t offer , both hands are empty .Sadly we live in a world of the walking wounded who in turn wound others , often people don’t even know any better because of their own demons .

Alone for 20 years, found my mom again just for her to turn her back on me; it was devastating
Rocky, I’m sorry this happened. I won’t find my dad for this exact reason. I’m learning family that you choose can be so much more rewarding because they know u and accept that. We are lovable
Everyone deserves a good family.
Join the club
In my case I had two family’s . I was abandoned at 3 months old . By what a later found out was a covert narsasist with every degree in psychology . My adopted family was very controlling and strict . I as a kid suffered insane put downs and threats that would be worse then being in the military or navy seals . I’m not scared if death it was that bad . I moved out at 18 and then got my life threatened by many people moved back in with my birth mother after going homeless . Got beat to a bloody pulp by my sister and my mom after 4 years of torture living and being bullied by her my sister and the man who was a drug lord she married got stabbed in the head by my sister who married a man with napoleon conplex who stood over me with a bat . I got beat up against a concrete wall . I have moved cities away from my family . I hope they die . I want nothing to do with them . And when the time is right and I got myself sucsess full I will take them both to court to pay for what they did to me I need justice for what they did to me . Suffice to say I’m on disibility and surviving hopefully sometime soon I’ll have my life together and not have to rely on disibility income . Abandonment only happens when you have a strong strong gift that is out of the normal . People don’t like things they can’t understand because if they can’t understand you they can’t control you . And everyone on this planet controls others . It’s sad but true . It’s possible to live without others controlling you but requires insane amounts of time dedication and effort .
I am sorry Rocky. I know how devastated feels. I was abandoned by both parents. I should be dead. The pain was worse than words can explain. I am still trying to figure it out - life and how to be okay. I am 56.
Gut wrenching tears because in a different way, I share your past ... childhood trauma and abandonment, yet like you that wasn't the end of my story. I am SO GRATEFUL for your life to have ended up where it is, and for my own. Love to you and your family.
This one’s beautiful. I’m a foster kid and my mom abandoned me for a guy she met on yahoo chat when I was 11.
People need this one thank you!
Hope you are good now. Terrible to hear
I was 12 when my mother abandoned us (4 kids) for our stay-in employee.
Troy: I wrote a novel and excerpted a chapter book to show the world the abandoned boy's point of view in detail. I was so shocked hearing about polygamous families on the West Coast abandoning their sons as young as 12 that I took that as the subject to write. The novel is Secret Lives of Utah Boys.
The chapter book is the first 126 pages of the novel but with all the references to polygamy omitted because the chapter book audience is minors. That book is : Cousins Eli and Toby.
My own younger brothers were orphaned at 5 to 14 years old. I have spent my entire life worrying about my younger brothers' struggles that resulted from being orphaned.
Thank you for the courage to stand up to this and not choose to hide these egregious acts of child abuse you endured. I respect and admire your true grit to turn it all around to achieve a life we all wish we had. I will never forget you and your story.
I’m 25 and first experienced abandonment at 2 years old by my mother, then again by the rest of my family members by the time I turned 18. Since then I’ve spent the last 7 years either alone or being cut off/abandoned by every friend or girlfriend I tried getting involved with and I really don’t know how much longer I can deal with it. I understand life isn’t all roses and rainbows, but a human being needs at least ONE person in their life to speak to or have there for them. Not be isolated for years and years and feel unloved their entire life and be hurt by every single person who ever came into their life. I just want to know when it gets better.
I’m in the same exact boat. Trust me, I’m 24 and I cry almost every other day since I was 15 about my mom not wanting me never calling me etc. she abandoned me and my older brother, but kept the last 6 of her kids and still doesn’t call me. My brother died, she didn’t even talk to me at the funeral. Trust me I know what it feel like to have no one caring about them.
I feel you..
Psalm 27:10 - "If my father and my mother should abandon me, the Lord would take care of me."
An invisible entity does not give you financial support, does not give you emotional support. All that invisible entity does is leave you talking to yourself, which if caught will land you in the crazy people factory.
I have heard that my grandmother abandoned all her 9 children because she didn't want to become part of a certain religion whom my grandfather belonged to.I know there are certain kinds of religions that are really controlling. My grandmother seemed to be a narcissist.
But of course it should never be an excuse for my grandmother to abandon her children..Both of my grandparents might have the problem..But child abandonment is too much.
This made Me Cry .. I just want to Go Home ❤️💔❤️
Go home kitty, youl be shocked by what's waiting for you, seeing your short comment pierced into my heart, and left a 31 year old veteran who considers himself very resilient in tears
The Bible says , let the redeemed tell their stories .
Thank you for your courage , inspiration & contribution to the world .
God bless you & your loved ones .
Sister Grace
Karen Grace where does it say that?
Also bible: Spouse comes first then kids
@@klausmikaelson2449 Really what verse is that?
@@keyanna2633 i dont remember. google it
Thank you for your beautiful words sister
Lost my mom to meth , it hurts because I never grew up with my siblings. My aunts took me in but it was always hard to adjust . My past hunts till this day .
Steve Chavez same exact situation for me. I feel you.
Am sorry! Not everyone sucks in this life, you ha e all the potential to be great human beings-like this guy- please be kind to your family when you form one and may all blessings fall upon you.
💙
I have a similar story, mother abandoned me and my two younger siblings...I was 5, my sister was 2 and my brother was a baby. She left us with a babysitter who eventually needed to call Children's Services after she didn't return for more than a month. I spent more than two years in foster care, my sister was adopted by an aunt (who denied me access to my sister for nearly 12 years and told me that she was now my cousin), my brother was raised by my father. It is sad as shocking that this isn't unusual. Bless you!
What kinds of monsterous foster parents make a child choose between his siblings and having parents? That's f***ing sick.
My heart breaks for you...and at the same time I am blown away by your life and story. Thank you for sharing this incredible possibility.
Man my dad left me when I was 2 years old. He I guess didn't care about me and went and had children with another women . Feels so bad man . My life is just not fair and I'm trying to surpass the obstacles but it's just so hard 😓
Immortal God. It will never get easier, however you do get used to working hard to fix this. One day at a time. Avoid substance abuse, look for support groups to talk with other people who have lived with this pain. You will be surprised how many people go through traumas but dont really know where to get help. We all need help and a group in order to get better. No one does it alone.
Immortal God our mind makes meaning of all situations we find ourselves in. Especially when we are kids - the meaning our minds make is so often untrue. We get stuck in the pain. What people do to us forms our blueprint of who we think we are. When we begin to realize that what happened, how they behaved was THEIR STUFF, we can look at ourselves through different eyes and begin to heal, to believe in ourselves and grow. I love CZcams because there is so much FREE help on here and I use it daily to find answers. I hope you can find the will to believe in yourself and live the life you deserve, find some peace and happiness. It does take time. I began my healing journey young and now I am still healing, it is a continuous process of self awareness. I am so glad I did not exit the pain because I would have missed out on so many good things.
Please, do not give up. There is hope dor you. Believe in yourself.
Hang in there. Remember that it's not your fault. I have had various kinds of childhood trauma and for me meditation has helped me a lot (to become more emotionally stable), also some books on trauma was helpful too.
FeelzBadMan☠
Incredible story Brendan! Thank you for doing what you do.
After watching this I remembered a quote..."Life is how well u walk n the fire 🔥"..
I’m glad you were able to heal. I’m trying to heal from my mother neglecting and the abandoning me at an early age. I’ve been abandoned, scapegoated and gas lit a lot
I was abandoned by both of my parents. They abandoned all 12 of us.
I am so sorry that you had to go through abandonment and betrayal at such a young age.
I’ll never forgive my parents for not being in my life by choice yet live in the same city. But I’m trying to forgive myself for blaming myself for them leaving. Always felt like it was something wrong with me , now I have no friends and no family. Just my grandma but I’m still very lonely and alone.
Seriously, even if you somehow could've been _different,_ do you really feel that those were the sorta 'parents' that woulda cared... and even then, for how long?
🙏🏼💜
The saying, "There but for the grace of God go I" should ring true for everyone on this planet. Life can change in the blink of an eye, no one is immune. Please help your fellow whenever or however possible.
Profound and dignified, packed with a wisdom that only comes with a true sense of justice,fairness, & a desire to help others just for the sake of it. Thank you :) Peace & liberation to you, friend.
My situation is almost a mirror image of the movie Hope Floats. The same age as that little girl and her begging her dad not to leave. That was me. My dad straight up left me. He lives happily with his new wife and 3 kids and it kills me that I wasn't enough. 💔💔
You're enough, you're more than enough. Always remember that!
You are enough. Your dad was not capable of loving you. That has all to do with him and nothing to do with you. Please get help.... you Are worth it
When parents leave home, it is always for other reasons, not for their kids.
I've been in foster care since I was about 9 years old finally left after I was about 21 years old. All my life I wondered what went wrong when I was with my parents before they used to drink and fight constantly until social services got involved. Me and my brother got put in with different foster parents it was tough but few years passed and a social worker moved me in with my brother and his foster parents. Till this day we all stay in touch, I got bad news my mum passed away in 2009 she was only 43 years old my dad never reappeared in my life I've always hated him the worse thing about the funeral was that I never cried till few days after.
And I thought my early family were assholes.
Very young people aren't equipped to handle massive changes and instability, and the social systems we have aren't equipped to deal with us as lost kids. It's a miracle some of you are at least holding it together and then at some point finding a way to heal.
my mom abandoned me and my sister, I was 2 and half and my sis was new born. Today my sister took her pain and became a lawyer, and a spokesperson against human trafficing and helping people. I wish I could do that. My mind is stuck in a fantasy of having a family still.
Our mom abandoned us, our step mom beat the cra p out of us and our father, well he was there but not there. I'm turning 50 and I am a mess. Agoraphobia, anxiety, and my mind is aching with the amount of pain from childhood. Being to weak to control my own mind when others have it far worse makes me feel even more terrible.
If you were abandoned I think it may be OK to feel bad. But important to get some help.
My mother lives in america, my father is canadian. Mother in real estate father in politics.
As much as I tried to voice myself and pain. It just moved my parents mindset further from me. So now we never talk.
almost 50 and wont have kids for fear of me repeating all of that.
I hate myself for being weak.
hate myself for being afraid of them. hate feeling redelivered to be away from them.
He decided to leave, because he didn't want to he separated from his siblings. Such a loyal brother he is. I hope him and his siblings are reconnected and are united together as one.
God Bless You Brendan. Your message is one of Hope and how the Love of Caring Human Beings can Heal. Thank you for passing this on.
I’ve been depressed for so long I feel like I have no soul
My bio left me locked out of my moms house in the middle of winter because I was sick and his wife didnt want his step children contracting the flu from me. I was 10 years old, no one was home. I was incredibly fortunate that my dad (my stepfather) raced home in 20 minutes from across town to let me inside. It took everything in him not to hunt my bio down. I love my dad very much. However his love doesnt change the fact my bio didnt want me. So much as he endangered his flesh and blood, his only blood born child, for a woman that beat me. I have a level of hurt that has only burned more as the years went on. I only ever wanted my bios acceptance and love. Why did he have me if he couldnt love me? Hes dead now. I'll never get my answers and it makes me mad knowing that. I didnt ask to be born. But I was and he couldnt be a man.
Thank you . We love you. We appreciate you . You are helping me heal through my situation thank you
Thanks a lot guys, may God bless all of you more.
I was just in church today praying for the next step in my healing. This is it
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank u for your testimony
Thank you.
Im 33 sometimes I feel like I'm not fully there, my mental illness is creating a sadness all over upon me, the only thing helping me to stay alive is my little daughter.!
When I drink alcohol I feel worse than before.!
A Faithful Man: The beverage that does help would surprise you. Mint tea is a natural mood elevator. It is an uncontroversial food with good vitamins. Two or three weeks of drinking one brewed tea bag a day build up an attitude change.
I suggest a pitcher of mint tea be kept in the refrigerator all summer for the whole family and that warm mint tea be consumed when the weather changes.
This is as simple as putting a mint tea bag in a thermos and running hot water into the thermos.
My mother grew mint tea. If you have land, you probably will only need one package of seeds to grow a lifetime supply. The roots will not due in 20 degree weather.
Wow that is a seriously heartbreaking. My sincere empathy to you and for your courage to tell your story. It is unconscionable what your parents did. I'm sure hurt so deeply. It's hard to fathom. Moving forward and healing and being successful wow good job the world is proud of you!
A powerful message, thank you..
My parents only raised my siblings, they neglected and abused me until they lost custody of me when I was 4, and gave up on me from that moment, didn't even want weekend visits. I just wish I was able to meet at least one of them before they both died when I was 17. I'll never even know what my father's voice sounded like, I don't even know what my own father looked like other than a few photos I've seen. It really hurts when my siblings tell me that they loved me because they never even wanted a single phone call with me.
None of that was about you and none of it was your fault. You are valuable and worthy from your very conception. Your parents were at fault. Nothing you did or didn't do caused them to abandon you. They were making selfish and irrational choices. They are sorry about it now, for sure. It was their heavy guilt and shame that prevented them from visiting you or talking with you.
You matter and are deserving of all things good!

i just want to hug you
love this 💗
When my kids were growing up they thought I was the meanest mom ever! I had rules. I grounded them for breaking those rules. I searched for them at friends' houses when they weren't where they told me they were, (before cell phone days). I made surprise visits to their classrooms to make sure they were doing their work and respecting the teacher. I forced them to attend family functions so that they could hear family stories and have memories of their great-grandmas, grandparents, uncles, etc.. I made them go to church. Yes, I was a horrible, abusive mom until they became parents themselves!!! Then they understood and told me so. I feel for this man when he was a child and others like him! I wish God would give "horrible" moms like me to all children to love !
Your story really moved me.
I feel this way to much.. I got adopted when I was 4. I had the same feeling throughout growing up.
💜much love darling bless you always 💜x
Bless you.
I’m sorry to hear this happened to you. I understand.
Try being abandoned all your life with no family and very few people to talk too.
I am that
Me too Bro/Sis. A lot of
Predators ( only friendly people) . I have the wolves

He's so softspoken it hurts
My friend went through this. His parents broke up at a young age and went one to have other families with no regard for him. He ended up in foster care for a while until the grandparents picked him up and raised him.
No matter what therapy I have done, the missing closure is the punishment deserved by ALL parents that don’t want their children. The choice is BEFORE conception, not after. And if after birth, leaving your kids, should be treated just like murder! Societies lax laws allows for it in order to keep the working class whole! Most foster kids don’t make it like those kids with even one biological parent in their lives.
BUT!
I love waking up everyday with a smile on my face knowing that EVERY single person that ever chose other than me is in some state of major failure in life at this very minute with absolutely no hope for the better. As for Me? My wife and I are spectacular! Busted our butts in corporate America and made our own way in life. I think most foster kids want better, but their choice of mentors has the biggest impact. Mentors are introduced, but the kid chooses whether or not to follow. My mentors were my friends who chose to be honest with me and I trusted them for it. They were also 20 years older. No one my age could help me so I never hung out with people my age. Still very hard to relate. I set a goal and I hit it, “No one who cast me away will have a better life than me!” I am not saying that I cut them down. I was never there to do anything against them. I simply chose to persevere and thrive instead of sit and strive. I chose to beat them at their own life. I chose to prove to them that they really missed out, by just taking care of myself. Without any encouragement and pats on the back from any family. I am so grateful that I was smart enough to NOT listen to my elders. Otherwise I would be suffering just like them. Karma has blessed me with a few face to face sightings in the past few years. I absolutely do feel sorry for them and would do everything I could to help them if I were a millionaire, but there is nothing I can do. And that really saddens me the most about my real family. I can’t help them. And I would.
Because I am a King at Life!
Thank you to all my mentors! Thank you to all my trespassers of my inner soul. You made me the person I am now. Feeding from many bowls allowed me the skills that even the finest educated people don’t possess. Learning to fit in in almost any environment is so awesome. Finding relative things through the many more experiences I have than those of the normal child. Being forced to follow religions and ways that don’t follow your own imprinting! KAMELEON!!!Living inside someone’s home, but outside their family? How else do you stay ungrounded?!
Brendan Maguire, we need more politicians that hide their real selves, so we can identify with them, and have the hope of being able to change our lifes after being abandoned children, feeling skeptical of everyone in this world, not feeling good enough to apply for jobs and progress in life, to stop being losers, and start being successful on our lives. Thank you so much for your speech.
You were lucky to be adopted by a good family, in my case I just knew mom who left me with neighbors when I was only 9 months never knew who my father was, I was the maid and babysitter of that house... now I'm lost in life with 2 kids left by their fathers too and all I wanted in my life was the family I never had, I really tried hard, now I hate everything related to family
Give those kids the love you never had!
I'm also still trying to figure out how to fill the gaping hole in me that should have been filled by the love of my family.
Adopted by a good family that abused him? Don’t compare trauma.
give them enough love and support to outweigh their fathers leaving. this coming from someone who was given to my grandparents at 4 months old by parents who went on to have, and keep, 4 more children. The question of "Why didn't he want me?" will always cross their minds. There's nothing that can be done about that, which you know. But having one parent that loved you truly and deeply can make all the difference in the world.
Jesus, I don't even remember being in foster care. I just realized recently I have abandonment issues. I do understand the sabotaging of relationships because we refuse to be left behind again.
So, when I was 6 months old, my parents were in college and decided that they weren’t in a place to take care of a child so I was sent to live with my dad’s family in the Bahamas until I was 3 or 4 and then they brought me back to the states. I’ve always wondered if I’m that messed up because of it or if they were ever really interested in me or if I was just an obligatory burden they never really cared for
Ty
Nice man! Sure could have used some good ppl in my life when I was growing up in similar circumstances.
This is remarkably insightful. Thank you Brendan for sharing your story. We can't be 'sorry' for what you experienced, because look at what you became, but you are in the minority to have had these experiences yet still realised your potential (tips hat to all those who helped along the way). Let's create a world where people can realise their potential without these experiences, and a social system that protects children from abuse and abandonment so they can realise theirs.
Unfortunately I know the feeling he had when left alone and helpless at the mall. That type of terror has no bottom to it. It seems endless.
I also was abandoned when I was 2 months old
What a heartbreaking story. Why did this people have a bunch of children? I’m so sorry that this happened to you this is so heartbreaking 💔. Please feel loved. 💋💋💋
It's not easy to be alone.
So sad 😢 I can relate
At 24 years old with the death of my mother absence of my father sibling all married at happy Im alone but surrounded by people
Same here
I want to add .... Dr. Gabor Mate has a number of videos and interviews here on CZcams dealing with childhood abandonment and trauma. I have found great help from him.
Wow this reminds me of myself
I can relate. I had my mom thank God. My father abandoned us. We were so poor and in the ghetto. Life was so hard it was the mid 80s. My life was so hard I tried to kill myself at 9 years old by suffocation. It was not my moms fault. She worked full time but had to pay the Bill's alone. My moms sister did not care and in fact felt since we were half Hispanic kids, we were less then human. I'm grown now and I love all kids and we all need to protect them.
:(:(:(:(:(I’m a foster child I feel your pain baby
"think about all those people..." This does not happen often. We are mostly left alone, I know I am. People don't care about you. For the most part, people will ignore you rather than help you. I have proven that at an actual hospital time and time again. You are alone.
yes I think you are right. But there is the random person who will reply to a post, so altruism does exist a little.
@@engleharddinglefester4285 yes we are alone but there are benefits, no one is yelling at me and I'm not mad at anyone or walking on eggshells.
Yes, we are alone. But it only takes one person to connect to and share love. (And I don’t mean romantic love)
❤️
Thanks mami for adopting me.
this breaks my heart from the start they should tell foster kids you can never see your siblings. You just have to start a new life and you're all alone with people you don't know then built those connections but it really sucks when the sinful system don't be truthful
How do leave a child behind? Did you meet your birth mother? Just a question? Thanks Rosario
I was abandoned at 3months old with my parents..and now I'm already 32 years old. I have autism daughter and my husband betrayed me.I felt like I'm not good enough..despite of doing my best, 😭😭😭
How are you doing now?
Daddy issue central over here has the Peter Parker curse only instead of the men I look up to dying, they all leave
GOD HELP YOU BROTHER ....
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My parents turned their back on me during my worst period of my life. Now I am never turning to them. They have lost a Gem. I have lost my value. Hence, they are dead for me.
I have heard that my grandmother abandoned all her 9 children because she didn't want to become part of a certain religion whom my grandfather belonged to.I know there are certain kinds of religions that are really controlling. My grandmother seemed to be a narcissist.
But of course it should never be an excuse for my grandmother to abandon her children..Both of my grandparents might have the problem..But child abandonment is too much.
When I was six years old my stepmother left me in a doorway with a note saying not wanted......
Let me tell you Boys and girls. I am a Adoption just barely survival story. I have not yet listened to this clip. I will have a response.
Paul isn't part of my family?
Life is unfair
I too grew up abandoned by abusive parents I’m a house of hate believing I wasn’t worth loving .
Currently forming Americas children of grace ministries a non profit for American orphans . That will provide housing support therapy full scholarships basic needs education for orphans 10 and up .
It's 😭😭😭 for those been abused. I can understand now keep being slaved
What do you think of men who abandon their girlfriends when pregnant or that abandon their children
I think they are equally terrible but the same way fathers help define how woman will see and understand men , Mothers help define how sons will see woman and the amount if respect they will have for woman.
Let men heal from what woman do to them and break the cycle.
One question to this guy ? why did not you adopt or foster any ? pay it forward
Pay it forward? Wth is wrong with you? It's his choice. He chose not to.
cause.. WHAT? inside .. you feel like its a diseae to pass on and you NEVER want to do that. Thats prob why . Its why I wont have kids. I would.. Wil NEVER pas on these demons inside my mind. on purpose or accidentally.
I want these unstable to remember when who was wasn't raised y'all 👂 Mistreated foster kids most like y'all except the other kid's. Here angry 😡😡😡😡 didn't have 👍👍👍👍👍 Amazing ancestors.
I bet you didnt do anything wrong after that
Just nowadays 8
How about a trigger warning? 😕
