i shouldnt miss you

I shouldnt miss you

Gone, what once was a frequent visit is now a occasional text

You haven't stopped trying, its me who keeps at a distance

Stooping to my level, buying my affection

Things brought to light i never knew you did

Things i can't be but also am mad at you for

Your none the wiser unaware i know any of this

Calls declined, texts ignored

Your visiting, i should be happy im told

i'm scared, you make me uncomfortable

But i can't stop myself from crying over you

“I miss you”

If you miss me why did you go

Why aren't you here

Was i not good enough for you

Were we not good enough for you

I'll be back in a couple years

Will you, as far as i'm concerned you're having more fun there

A better chance my mother says in attempts to comfort

But the thing is i don't want you anymore

You missed when you could have been here for me

So i'm not waiting for you if you come back

I'll wait for you to regret it. 

My friends often tell stories of their fathers

I don't want much

Maybe an occasional talk

A trip somewhere just the two of us, a day out 

Even just you helping me with homework or a small problem like how to undo my shoe laces.

But when your here i see myself running away from you

Days out, full of stuff i don't want to do because you don't know me

You left at my time of greatest need, the time i needed most support

I'm growing up and you're missing it, you don't know me at all you have no idea who i am.

In your brain I'm still a child who needs tending to for a small graze or has to be followed and watched all throughout the day.

You have no idea how to act with me just like I don't know you.

I see other people, relationships flowing so easily so why.

Why?

You didn't have to go. You chose to. 

But I didn't choose to stay.

Recently a federal U.S. court appointed a group of lawyers to locate and reunite 666 migrant children who were separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border; two-thirds of whom were deported to Central America. The “zero-tolerance” policy enacted by the Trump Administration in 2018 separated hundredths of children as a deterrence to stop the flow of illegal immigration (including those seeking asylum from their countries of origin), most of the children were either deported or taken into federal custody without their parents, which critics of the policy say is “beyond cruel” and a “total mess and mismanagement” by border officials. The family separation policy was recently the subject of a 21-month investigation by the House Judiciary Committee. The Committee’s report found the U.S. government moved forward with a national family separation policy despite “full knowledge that hundreds of children would likely be lost to their families forever.” President-elect Joe Biden has promised to sign an executive order on his first day in office that will create a task force to reunite the migrant children who were separated from their families under Trump. — Archival imagery on U.S.-Mexico child migration T the border in Tijuana-San Diego in 2018-2019. — #archive #usmexicoborder #frontera #centralamerica #migration #migrantes #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #documentaryphotography #familyseperation #everydaylatinamerica #everydaylafrontera #everydaymexico #everydayusa #everydayeverywhere #everydaysocialjustice #fronterizo #portrait #portraitphotography #retrato #environmentalportrait #reportagespotlight #tijuana #mexico #sandiego (at US/Mexico Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHbCgf6lww-/?igshid=57sfxt3o4yjj

After 3 months of separation this mother reunites with her son, who doesn't seem to recognize her and fears he will be traumatized for the rest of his life. This is disgusting and heart breaking. What are some suggestions you would give to families after being reunited?

Refugee kiddos.

I had a friend ask:

hi! quick question since I know you are familiar with fostering....They are placing several refugee kids here in the next few weeks and are looking for families. They said they would stay 2 weeks to 4 months. Is volunteering to host a child feeding into these policies? or is it trying to help? I want to help, but I absolutely believe in families staying together.

I responded with:

That’s so tough. I think it can be trying to help, but I think there needs to be action behind it. As long as you are advocating for contact with their parents, pushing for asylum if they are eligible, making sure they have legal representation, and continuing to fight for an end to the policy, I think you are helping.

I struggle with this too, because I don’t want babies sleeping on floors, but I also don’t want to help put states in between families.

So Tumblr friends, is this good advice? How do we help babies not sleep on floors, but also not encourage the policy???? What else could I encourage her to do if she takes placement? What services should she reach out to for assistance? Any advice?
