My sister and I ended up in foster care after our parents went to prison for robbing a bank, but they got 8 years and my sister and I ended up in the care of the state! My mom and dad were not thinking about us when they decided to rob a bank.
They were only thinking about themselves, then it took me a long time to realize that I carried a lot of anger and frustration toward my mother and my father.
It also took thousands of dollars and fees to a therapist. I had a lot of trouble dealing with the trauma that my parents caused, however foster care was a joke too. There was really little supervision and nobody cared if I ran around the neighborhood all night causing trouble. I went to the juvenile detention center when I was 17 and spent a year there. I was in and out of the mental health system for a couple of years and then I ended up in a treatment center, one of the psychiatrists suggested using medical marijuana. Medical marijuana had only recently been approved in certain cases of PTSD and the doctor believed that I was a great candidate. I got my medical marijuana card a few months later! At first there were only a few odd stadiums where I could buy medical marijuana products, however now there are medical marijuana dispensaries all over the state and in almost every neighborhood and town. It’s easy to find medical marijuana deals in a dispensary that is nearby.
