The Many Sorrows of Childhood

This article is about the many sorrows of childhood that children have to go through today. There are many children out in the world today that have suffered so much. Some have lost loved ones and have been put in foster homes, some have had their parents just give them away, and some just are living a life that no one should have to live.

The hurt and sorrow of these kids are so painful to see. No kid has asked to be in a life like this. It is so hurtful to look in a child's eyes and know that there is nothing you can do to help them with the situation they are in.

I myself have been in a situation to where no one could help me in. I also have custody of my brother whose mother gave her parental rights away and his father no longer wanted him. For kids to live like this is horrific.

My brother has had a hard life and I took custody of him when no one else wanted him because he is my family. I could never turn my back on my own family like my mother has to my brother.

My brother throughout his life has had his mother leave him behind 8 times in his life to be with another man. I wish if my mother did not want him to give him to me a long time ago so he would not have to live a life of pain.

I know what my brother is going through because my mother did the same thing to me leaving me and my sister to live with our grandparents. She just walked out gave us a kiss and never came back.

My brother has been through so much in his life. He has been in and out of court because of the rage he has inside do to the fact that he has to come to realize that both of his parents do not want him.

I have taken care of my brother my entire life and I have to say he is better with me than anywhere he has been. He is finally out of trouble and off probation and out of the court system.

I try to do the best for my brother by raising him right, but he will always know the pain of what happened to him and I cannot take that away from him. I wish I could but how can you take pain away from a child that has lived his whole life with?

Me and my husband try to provide a good life for my brother so he knows when he has kids it is not ok to just up and leave them. I want to teach him better that life is not fair and life is hard. I am doing my best to teach what he needs to know about life.

I just hope when he gets old enough to have children of his own he will not do what our mother and his father did to him. I want him to learn right and i want him to have a better life than what I had.
