Sorry this is a long post but just need to talk to someone about it.

I was told when I was 16 that I would struggle to conceive for a number of reasons. When I met my hubby around two years later I told him all about it and as he was a 'looked after' child himself after a few years of trying and failing (2 x IVF) we decided that we could open our doors to some foster children although we never gave up trying for our own. Anyway to cut a long story shorter our second foster child was an 11 year old girl who was extremely psychologically traumatised.

We worked hard on building a relationship up with her and getting her to enjoy school (she was always bright but never had a reason to try before, she loved gaining attention for completing homework or getting good grades etc). Anyway she settled in after the first year really well and even asked us to adopted her. We thought everything was going well until she hit 14. She started hanging around with a bad crowd and got herself in trouble on a number of occasions. Stayed out all night in dens smoking pot etc, they were some of the worst times of all. It was strange because she wasn't my child i felt even more responsible for her behaviour (I hope that comes across as I mean it ). Anyway, it didn't stop there and after repeated talks and her stealing left right and centre from us we had no choice but to move her to another family. She left us when she was 14 and a half ish. Our relationship was strained for the first couple of weeks as she still wanted to be a part of our family but after that I would say it went to a whole new level. She suddenly realised that (in her words) 'that since no-one wanted me I presumed you didn't really. I pushed and pushed you but you always stayed firm with me. Then I went over the edge with you both and lost you then I suddenly realised that love is a two way process'.

So she is still a big part of our lives but we haven't taken her back purely as she is doing so well in her new home and she is here everyday anyway lol. What I am mad about is every parents evening I have attended, over the past year her other foster mum has also been there of course but she has been kind enough to allow me to still attend them. I missed this last one (year 11) as I was working and couldn't get out of it. Her foster mum said the evening had gone well etc and I was worried. Anyway, I have just had a copy of her report posted to me from the school (they enclosed a letter to say they wanted me to have a copy as they were extremely concerned and knew I still had some input in her life).

Anyway, it was terrible! She has been missing school and not completing coursework by the deadlines set. Her mock exam results were ok but not what the school expected from her. As I said they have predicted her A's and B's in everything and in most she gained D's. I rang her foster mum and she said she is dealing with it and I was to try to remove myself from the situation as the child's education was her responsibility now.

Sorry its so long but just don't know what to do right now..........

 

[mrsholmes]

oh love her............ I dont know my first thought was for you to speak with her rather than the foster mum and see whats going on?

 

[ClaireyF]

i would speak to her aswell and see if she will open up to you about the sudden change. xxx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Hi hun,
What a terribly difficult situation ... girls at that age are a flipping nightmare (my 15 year old sis has just gone through it all and has nearly ended up living with me on a number of occasions)

Have the school said anything about it this has been a gradual thing or was it a sudden downfall in behaviour?

One thing i do suggest like the others have said is go to her for a chat and not the foster mum ... my sis always felt so betrayed and like we were ganging up on her if i spoke to my mum about her.

Id maybe give the school a call first and see if you can find out more about how long things have been bad for.

Is she hanging around with the wrong people again? or maybe attention seeking?

Maybe shes having probs with her foster mum and not doing school work is her way of punishing her (one thing my sis did to my mum)

I think a heart to heart ... adult to adult girly chat is needed hun ... sorry i cant think of anything else more helpful xxxxx

 

[kittiekat]

Thanks girls,

I am sorry to just drop this on you all but just felt shocked and a little unsure on what to do as I don't want to step on her new foster mums toes etc but still feel very much attached to her that I don't want her to go off the deep end again.

I will contact school tomorrow and speak to her head of year (he was always nice to chat to) and then speak to her and see if she opens up any. She turned 16 recently and has had an 'i'm an adult now' head on since lol.

 

[LM2104]

God you lot can chat... Took me ages to read all that! LOL!!

Cath love the name! We still cant decide OH is not listening to what I think at all, making me really mad!

KittieKat my sister went thru the same thing got in with the wrong crowd school work slipping etc. The only that got her out of it was the shock realisation that what she did was actually going to affect her future and everything like going to uni and getting to be a lawyer like she wants to be... She needs a heart to heart but with someone who isnt going to patronise her or treat her like a child.

 

[Cariad_bach]

Kat dont be sorry hun i wish i could help more tho ..

Hopefully the school will have more of a idea for you,
Your being really diplomatic hun and you only have her best interests at heart ... at this time in her life shes got so much to loose ... i think she sounds the same age as my sis (whos 16 in 3 weeks and doing her last 6 months of school)
This stage is so important for them isnt it ... their exams and everything puts so much pressure on them tho, they need to keep a level head but its heard enough for adults,
All it takes is a hormonal rage, the wrong friend or boyfriend and they start mucking up their exams.

Shes lucky having you in her corner hun xxxxx

Hi LM,

I think your right about that, when she did live with me she used to love going to work with me (I work as a lecturer for a local uni). She made a decision to go on to uni after school and really started to settle down in her education. She hasn't been for a while now so maybe taking her in with me again next week (half term for schools) may help to re-ignite the desire she use to have to go on to uni etc. At least she will be able to see what her exams results can get her and what they can lose her, hope that makes sense lol.
