2025.01.30 06:50 venustrology Ok I have more to say.
I can't not express how I feel.
I have been following this family since Amerey was in the home. I disliked her. She came off as a spoiled kid who would never have to struggle. I was quickly humbled.
I came from a toxic family. Never really had any support as a child, raised by my grandparents who passed before I turned 18. I have been on my own since I was 17 years old and it has been so hard.
I went to college and got a degree in adolescent psychology and criminal justice. Got a job at a "treatment" facility for teens who were "delinquent". Teens who had DHS as their legal guardian and had exhausted all possible foster care resources, weren't going to be adopted and needed somewhere to be placed to age out. They came to me. Broken. Hurt. Confused. Lost. Uneducated. Double traumatized. They knew they came to me to live there until the age of 18. They knew adoption was no longer an option.
I started the job with a physical and In the interview was told I'd be dealing with delinquent teens who could hurt me. These girls were the best thing to ever happen to me. I went from working 35 hours a week to 80 a week. I wanted to work double shifts because I knew the girls loved me. I brought them their favorite pizza, Chinese food, hell I brought them taco bell. They didn't care and I was happy to provide for them.
I had girls tell me they were so grateful they were in my facility because they knew they would see me in the morning before they went to school. (School was on "campus"). I was happy to work double shifts because I knew the girls would be eating well and watching their favorite movies.
The girls i was gracefully trusted with weren't bad girls. They had trauma just like any adopted girl did. They helped me understand the absolute fraud that comes with foster care, adoption etc. there is one girl specifically that I usually mention.. she pulled my heart strings. She was 15 when she joined my facility and 17 when I was hired. She had been through so many staff members and was the one I was "warned" about but she became a daughter to me. She was told she was a lost cause. Thrown into the system at age 3, foster care families that she went in and out of for 11 years. Never adopted. Came "home" from school several times her DHS worker met her in the parking lot to transport her to the next placement. She was the "problem" one. The one I was told I'd need to call police on.
She became my best friend. We bonded. At the end of the night, when she couldn't sleep, we watched gossip girl and cried. We pretended to be contestants on American Idol in our DHS provided living room. I looked her soggy, but healthy government sausage patties every morning.
And she healed. The pain and fear left her body. She begged me to work extra hours because I was who made her feel less alone. And I did. Everytime. She still talks to me today. She is 21 and has been gone for 3 years. I left two years ago. She calls me her mom. She knows that at the end of the day she can call me and I will run. She came to me broken and mean. She left me content and kind. She knows if she needs a home my apartment is open for her.
To wrap this all up. She never expressed her trauma to be from her bio parents. The trauma came from the adoptive families she lived with. She was too young to remember any abuse from bio parents. But she knew she was not wanted or accepted, even when "chosen". She was "chosen" because she needed a place to go and someone opened up their house. She's the most kind and understanding person I've ever met. She wouldn't care if I was full of hair and had green eyebrows. I would always move the moon for her.
Those are the moments you live for. When you save a child who never expected to be saved. I also know that adoptive parents are given a monthly income. Amber can deny all she wants but I worked directly with DHS and can genuinely tell you that yes. Adoptive parents are paid. American adoptive systems are so over flooded that if they didn't pay there would be no movement. While the pay for adoption and foster is different it exists. Amber was given a monthly stipend, likely a good amount for both Amerey and CJ. she states she couldn't have CJ without Amerey and that just isn't the case. No state in America has enough room to be that picky. Yes, they would like to adopt together if possible. Are they going to deny it? No they won't. Had Amber said she only wanted CJ, the state would have attempted to adopt to someone else for both of them. If failed, would have separated and adopted CJ to Amber and Amerey would remain in CPS custody. When our system is overloaded they aren't going to refuse an adoption even if only for one sibling. Adopting together is ideal but adopting separately is not impossible. Amber accepted both siblings and took on the mother role.
Imagine growing up. Being born to parents who didn't care about you. Cared about drugs. And then you're adopted into a family where you still aren't loved. You're just taken care of. My girls always told me they were just happy they were cared for. But I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to admit you are not loved or chosen.. you were settled with. Your adoptive parents chose your brother, they didn't choose you. You were only taken away from the foster care system until you became of age. Your adoptive mother chose to use law enforcement against you. You never knew what the next day held. As an adoptive mother you're able to call the police anytime you want. The police will scare the child into going to school. Going to practice. Not sneaking out. Staying a virgin. Etc.
Your child eventually becomes an adult and realizes your lifestyle is toxic.
I would never adopt a child and allow a boyfriend to move in as a teen. Especially a 12 year old girlfriend who was dating a 15 year old man. I am so sorry Gavin grew up with crappy parents. Sorry he struggled. But he should have been put into the system the same way CJ and Amerey were. Instead he was "taken in" by a woman who had custody of a 12 year old female and 10 year old son.
Regardless if blood or not, my 12 year old daughter would never have been moving her boyfriend in. Her boyfriend was 15 and she was 12 and that wasn't an issue. Her boyfriend moving in wasn't an issue. Her boyfriend touching her in bed wasn't an issue.
This is a problem..Amber collected a good amount of money adopting Amerey and CJ. She then moved her daughters boyfriend who was 3 years older than her into the home. Then she pressured her daughter into marrying him... Because why not? Then she trashed her online and LIED about her sexual acts online because she left her boyfriend she was with since she was 12.
If you don't find it to be a problem that she allowed a 15 year old male who was dating her 12 year old daughter to move in you need to be investigated. There is a serious issue with your safety around children and will be turned in. A 12 year old should not have her hi boyfriend moved in... I found it HARD to leave my abusive partner who only had MY influence..... Let alone having my entire family. You failed her and should be in jail. Again... If you are an amber supporter.... Encouraging your daughter (who is 12) to have her boyfriend (who is 15) move in is an issue. It is giving grooming, sexual abuse, and genuine concern.
I am so sorry your daughters boyfriend grew up in a toxic unstable family but he should have been turned into the system the same way Amerey was. You did not save anyone , Amber. You traumatized your adoptive daughter and gave her abuser a place to live.
You've been reported. I know who you are. I know where you work. I know that DHS has your paperwork. You'll be investigated. You signed papers that you would not break law and further traumatize the children you were adopting and you have. You will pay for what you have done. I have a degree and have reported you. You weren't given judge say in adoption to allow a 15 year old male to move in, thrusting over a 12 year old female.
You aided in pedofilia, Amber. I will make sure you are in prison. Trust me. you are absolutely sick. I cannot imagine being without a family, adopted, and then thrown into a relationship, feeling like if I leave my relationship I will also lose my family. my mom moved this man in, to be with me. If I deny him, if I leave him, I risk going back into the system and losing a family.
FUCK you Amber. You absolutely groomed and traumatized these kids. You should be in jail and I will make sure you are. You moved an unknown male into your home to be in a relationship with your 12 year old daughter you are SICK. a fucking pervert.
I have taken notes, .made a recommendation letter. You won't get off won't this Amber. You say you'll file charges against Amerey? Nope. I will have you at breakfast. You will be served before it reaches Amerey.
You aided in pedofilia. You are a pedofile and groomer, Amber. I will see you in court.

2025.01.30 06:50 Puzzled_Fox_6771 My new self statement
I acknowledge that I wasn’t born pretty and I never will be. I’m nothing special. I’m a short and chunky female. But this is gonna be my life for the next few decades and I’ll make the most out of it by focusing on my career and earning cash. I’m not gonna compare myself to other females anymore and I’m single so I don’t have to worry about disappointing anybody. I just want a quiet life with my cat.

2025.01.30 06:50 the_lost_library Stuck
Guys, I’m scared. I don’t know what to do. I already called the police and they said they would send someone over, but it’s been more than two hours now and no one’s arrived. Now I have no signal, but I still have the internet.
I’m stuck in my closet with nowhere to go. Every time I try to crack open the door to see, they jump at it and try to force their way in again. I’m starting to lose my mind and I really have to pee. I don’t want to be stuck here.
I don’t want to die.
When I came home from work, I was immediately greeted by my two dogs, Hank and Buster. Hank is a German Shepherd mix I got as a gift from my parents before leaving on my own and Buster’s a rescue mutt I picked up two years ago. I love them both very much, but really can’t trust either of them to be left alone unsupervised. So, it was unusual that they ran to greet me at the door since I lock them up in their cages before I leave for work.
Naturally, I thought that I had forgotten to actually slide the locks into place or that they had broken through their cages somehow. But as I tried to make my way into the laundry room where I keep their cages to check, they started acting weird. They would get in my way and whine or grab the sleeve of my sweater and pull me away from there, almost like they didn’t want me to see something. Eventually, I just gave up and went about my day as usual, feeding them and making myself dinner. In fact, I’m sure the ingredients are still sitting on the counter where I left them.
But all that seems pretty normal so far, right? So why am I hiding in my closet, absolutely terrified?
I’m terrified because when I went to check on my dog’s cages while they ate, they were both still in them, their bloody bodies still had their collars on behind the locked cage doors. That’s when Hank patted into the hallway behind me. I turned to look at him, and the damn thing smiled at me. Fucking smiled.
Now I’m stuck in the hallway closet with nothing to fend them off with. All I have is my phone that’s slowly dying since I forgot to charge it when I got home. That’s not the worst thing though, the worst thing is I can hear them talking right outside the door. They’re talking about what they’re gonna do to me when I open the door again.
Please guys, somebody, anybody…
Help me.

2025.01.30 06:50 PastThePointOfCaring Hemorhoids or prolapse, or more? (swipe for more 😅)
Photo 1: Immediately after BM Phtoto 2: 10 minutes after BM (time I took showering) Rest of photos: before bed, after eating a meal I knew I shouldn't (long term stomach issues)
I guess my question is, how bad do you think this is? And what is it if you had to guess? Internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, or prolapse? I'm sorta confused they look 'external', but not really since they disappear soon after on their own, so they're internal? Idkk
Longer version for those who have the time to read more:
Been to the doc about hemorrhoids (and stomach issues) before, first time was very early teens, was told yes you have hemoroids, no meds, no advice, bye, basically not taken seriously I'm assuming because of how young I was, put me off going back to a doc about it until I was in my 20s, took alot of willpower to go even then due to the embaressment. Had bloods and stool samples done over the years, ultra sounds, results are all normal.
Over the years have regularly had (atleast monthly) atleast very very light bleeding on paper I put down to having to use the toilet so much each day, when I was partying and drinking heavily during university, I'd regularly have a dull but strong pain in my bollocks that lasted for hours, caused by this. Occasionally, but very rarely I'd get a sharp shooting pain in my pelvic region.
Visited the doc for the second time about hemorrhoids specifically a few days back after relatively heavy bleeding (onto paper after BM, that didn't immediately stop), and was given Proctosedyl Ointment and Scheriproct Suppositories, but no physical examination.
Due a callback from my doc for bloods and stool samples (which came back normal, again), so I can be recommended to a specialist (Gastroenterologist I'm assuming), plus book another appointment about hemorrhoids to show these same photos (lol).
But in the mean time, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on what level of fucked my ass is, are we talking going under the knife, or could rubber banding be an option, I really don't know.
