Chapter 10: The Hidden Scars of Foster Care

It was on me and Rhiannon to make sure he was stopped. Well, you know, I just hope to god that family never hurt anybody else ever again. I don't have like what it takes to be the person to try and make changes. It can't be my problem, like I, but then I think about all the kids who are there now and I feel shitty.
Imagine being told you're lucky while living in a nightmare. Rosie Waterland and her sister faced just that when they were placed in a foster home that seemed perfect on the outside but hid dark secrets. In this episode, Rosie and her mum, Lisa, tackle the harrowing experiences of neglect and abuse that Rosie endured during their time in foster care. They talk about the emotional toll of trying to appear 'normal' when their world was anything but.
Rosie opens up about how these traumatic events shaped her life and the long journey towards healing. Lisa adds her perspective, shedding light on the struggles she faced and how her absence affected her daughters. This episode is a raw and honest conversation about the importance of reporting abuse, supporting survivors, and creating safer environments for children. It's a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the deep impact of childhood trauma and the resilience required to overcome it.
