What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington (I now live in MN though).
I struggle with a lot of emotional problems that have, over the course of my life have manifested themselves into physical issues that make every day life difficult. I manage these issues with the help of medical professionals, but there's only so much that medicine can do.
When I was a child, I was taken away from my biological mother (she's severely mentally ill) and put into the foster care system after short stays with aunts and uncles. After a year in foster care, the state of Washington contacted my father, who abandoned my mother and I when I was a small baby, who has multiple felony warrants for his arrest in the state of Washington and other states for drug abuse, violence, and theft. They told him that I was in foster care and asked him if he'd be willing to "make good" on his parental obligations and assume custody of me. He did, so when I was nine, I met my father for the first time and in the same day began living with him for four hellish years. These years were filled with drug abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. During this stent, the state of Michigan took me from my father and again placed me in foster care. A year passed, and an aunt in Washington state adopted me when I was 13.
Do I have a case against the system of Washington state for placing me in danger as a child that are now causing me mental and physical distress, or am I whining too much?
