My best friend also happens to be my brother. We aren’t biologically related, we just came to reside in the same home as the foster children of a very nice couple. Admittedly, I craved my brother’s attention more than anything else, he would never cross any lines with me though. He only ever saw me as his little sister and I hated that so much. I wanted to experience passion and love and intimacy more than anything else in the world and I knew he was the only person I wanted that kind of connection with. I was completely infatuated with him and he seemed to only ever see me as the little girl I was when we first met.
While there are many horror stories that come out of living in foster homes, our experience with the Bradley family is not one of them. Our lives before that placement, however, were rampant with various types of neglect and abuse.
Grace and W.T. Bradley took in many foster kids, some for a few days, many for life. They were quite wealthy and they actually gave a damn about the kids in their care. They genuinely wanted to provide these children with stability and love, even if the placement was only temporary. My brother, I called him Danny but his given name was Dante Isaac Morrow, came into their home when he was 12.
