we'll all disappear one day and lose our minds

I should have been put in foster care from the beginning. It was a very tangible choice the court could have made and would have made if my dad didn't step in. My dad didn't deserve a child. He's narcissistic and abusive, and he makes no effort to hide that fact. I might have touched upon some examples in some of my earlier posts. So with the context of those ones, I'll continue.
One day, I think around the time I was 15 or 16 I had had enough. I told my dad I wanted to be put into foster care. At first, he seemed genuine, asking me if that's what I really wanted. I said yes. He said he'd look into it. He did not. Fast forward a few months later I ask about it again, and he just lies and says that there is no foster care system in our state. I've never heard such bullshit in my life. I knew it was a lie too because one of my friends at the time had just recently been taken in by a foster family, AND the principal at our school had recently taken in a foster child. So yeah. Great job, "dad".
