I grew up in foster homes. My mother had drug problems. I'm sort of the one foster care success story my amazing adopted father has. Graduating college within the year.
It's very true. Most of my foster brothers were, are, and will continue to be drains on society. Even my biological brother who went through it all with me.
I had something to distract me from my issues: girls, books, video games (no internet), computer programming (from books). The rest of them were just assholes who wanted to see the world burn.
