Every thing is translated as barter. It cannot accept kindness as just that. It always looks at the world defensively.

My neighbours are the worst kind to have abusive, perverted and unemployed. Their children have been taken away and placed in very good foster homes. The younger of the two kids has still not settled in. He is quite a handful for the new family. The reason being he doesnt know how to behave in a good environment. Its difficult for children who have been used to all kinds of atrocities from childhood. I perfectly agree with Betty. My neighbours are the worst kind to have abusive, perverted and unemployed.

It is so sad to think of a child who does not know how to accept kindness because they have never been given that before but that happens to be the sad reality for too many of today's kids.

The only people they can trust is themselves It’s no wonder these children have difficulty in believing something good can happen when they’ve been raised in abused families.

These children have probably listened to broken promises all their lives. I wouldn't get excited about promised rewards when I'd become used to being disappointed repeatedly either. It's good to hear intervention is now in sight. That’s sad. These children have probably listened to broken promises all their lives.
