Part 5 The transgenerational nature of exclusion

The problems of young people in care are not only individual, but the community’s problems, as well. Extended problems signal that these young people have never felt as valuable as others. They do not feel that they can be who they are, but that they have to hide their real selves. They may learn to behave as others expect, and to extinguish their own aspirations.

Parents of youth who are in difficult life situations often suffer from feelings of exclusion and isolation, as well. One challenge follows another in an endless cycle, grinding the person down. The financial situation is often tight, and ill health adds to the burden. Quite obviously, people of limited means end up engaging with society’s service systems more easily than others. Because people have not necessarily had a sense of social equality in relation to others, these perceptions can be passed on from one generation to the next.

Feelings of isolation and exclusion can overwhelm a person who never really receives fair treatment. In such a situation, the person may not have the energy to care for themselves or others. When out-of-home care ends at age 18, society acts no better than an abusive parent if it sends its children out into the world alone.
