Ariel (af:peachesgorawr) :

NOOOOOO (I scream as im dragged away)

Laura • Foster Parent Partner :

Do you ever provider therapy to the parent in this situation? These are parent consults right? Not a therapy session?

Calendula_girl :

do you not reflect with the parents about whether what theyre doing is good for the kids? it feels wrong not to, but im not a professional

Amanda :

did I miss part 3???

Shirley Marie :

Your face when you said she might be getting back together while you file it away to respond to later is so spot on.

Steph :

Oh, this is going to be catastrophic.

High Lady of Ink :

no. please no.

AlBal91 :

It must be so hard to hear about situations like this. I can see even from the video how empathetic you try to be. I really appreciate that you’re showing how things can often go in a way that doesn’t feel judgemental, even when it must be so hard. As a child of DV, thank you for what you do and I wish I’d had someone like you around me xx

DisembodiedCeramicHead :

birdie noooooo

Raven 🇧🇷 -> 🇬🇧 :

That’s a horrible idea, wow. Hopefully her own therapist gets through to her

samiekay7 :

How do you just not say I don’t think that’s in the children’s best interest

mjp_helan :

This is like Déjà vu watching multiple meetings I’ve had with parents

j...azmin🇨🇦 :

Abuse is so difficult to get out of. It's so tricky. It's obvious to us why she shouldn't get back together with him, but her brain is in a different place.

Sarah Bruce :

it's crazy because my name is Sarah and my little brothers name is Samuel

Mimi :

ohhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo

nicole :

HYPNOTICA :

sophs_chains :

louiseallana :

Mandi :

krsrml0 :

I am sad. these kids with no voices. their only advocate not giving them the opportunity to raise their voices. i am not saying that anyone needs saved but those kids voices aren't being heard

tumblr flashbacks :

I’m really intrigued by your approach - do you find it difficult to handle your own thoughts and opinions in these cases? You are obviously a professional I just wonder how much you are regulating internally

Kat :

what a horrible idea

Christina ❤️ :

sibling abuse, im calling it now

Natalia Fiedorczuk :

The girl refusing school may be looking after mum at home...
