She has divided opinions
A woman has divided opinions after banning her step-sister’s foster daughter from her house because she is “too disruptive”. She explained how her step-sister, Aria, has been fostering an eight-year-old girl, called Grace, for about a year with a view to adopt her someday.
However, Grace has been causing problems within the family, as she tries to learn how to handle her emotions after being removed from a toxic environment. Taking to Reddit, the 31-year-old mum said: “Aria and her husband Dan have been fostering with the view of someday adopting for two years, a decision they made when they found out Aria couldn’t have biological kids. Grace is their second placement.
“Grace has behaviour problems, and we knew this in advance because Aria mentioned it but honestly I wasn’t exactly prepared. Tantrums, bullying the other children, bad language, mean to the pets at home, possessive behaviour, you name it, Grace has exhibited it. I know this can be the case with traumatised kids so we’ve tried to let a lot of things slide as Aria and Dan tried to help Grace adjust, but it’s been hard and unpleasant.”
She went on to explain how Grace came over to their house to play one weekend – but left her six-year-old in tears after “bullying” her and breaking her playhouse. “Me and our other siblings have begun to dread these encounters because it seems like we never have one event without Grace creating an issue. Even my parents have been getting fed up,” she added.
