Liking them is the great @Former-Member - but I do understand how staying with them may bring up some old emotions from being in care. You got this though Jay - and I have been very impressed with your perserverance and change of attitude over today - very impressed indeed 
You really do belong here buddy and it is great to have you here

We get that @Former-Member - it is a new place, new people, new site to navigate your way around - and nobody knows you or your story or your struggles. All of that makes it very daunting for you and that is incredibly hard - especially when your source of support is not available right now. But on the positive side - we like having you here. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself - what do you like to do, what are your interests etc. Would be nice to know a little more about who you are

haha sorry @Former-Member my bad 
Why is it so hard being in that house - are there feelings that are brought up from when you were in care?
What kind of dogs are your favourites?

Yeah that is really hard @Former-Member but it is great that you have people in your life that you like and care for you
I have a little white maltese shih tzu. He is a reall little sweetheart - follows me everywhere.
Retrievers are very loyal dogs too.
Are you doing any study or work anywhere?
