I am one of 8 children today I saw my 18 year old brother who I haven’t seen for about 5/6 years we was separated about 13 years ago this is the same brother at the age of 7 I physically sat on to stop social services taken him away #care #careleaver

People often forget how important sibling contact is, people often forget how much still lives with me, how much I remember, how much I wish I could have done more, how much I blame myself for us all being separated I will never get this time back #care #trauma #separation

I will always sit and wonder what if how things could have been different if only I tried to protect my family more how much time I’ve missed of my siblings life’s how many birthdays Christmas I’ve missed how them days will never be the same #care #siblings #separation

If people only stopped to realise the true effect of family separation and I’ve had to go though the adoption side Aswell it’s heartbreaking to essentially grieve for someone that’s still living and wondering when the next time you’ll ever see them again #care #separation #trauma
