How do I deal with a foster parent that sees only herself that cares nothing about me and my feeling that is constantly angry with me that I can never do anything right for and that always seems to be angry at something I have tried just keeping my mouth shut but it doesn’t work she constantly finds new things to be angry about and I can’t leave this foster home because if I do I will go to a group home I need some advice so I don’t live in a toxic environment

You didn't mention, but how old are you? Do you have a "case worker" that you can reach out to? Your case worker would be the best person to talk to about this. It sound like you and your foster parent need to have some help to work through this - it would likely require both of you making some changes to make things go better. It sounds like you're in a very stressful spot. Do reach out to a case worker! Depending on your age, there could be other resources available as well. Good luck!

Hi there! This sounds like a tough situation and I'm proud of you for figuring out your emotions about it and for expressing them. I agree that reaching out to your case worker is probably best; no one deserves to feel so uncomfortable at home. I'd also remember that her insecurities have nothing to do with you, and you ARE enough! Do you have someone you can talk to?
