Group home in Snippets

My social worker(Mrs.Thermostat) showed up one day without any notice (to me at least) and picked me up from the institution. I was in the secure unit and my social worker arrived and signed me out. I had no idea where I was going or that I was going anywhere. She had a bag of my girls clothes in her car and I was wearing a skirt and blouse. She took me to a group home in the country and dropped me off. She talked with the staff there and said she would be back. I met with the house mother and she talked with me and explained that this was my new home and laid down some rules and expectations. I was still wearing girls clothes and it seemed that wasn't going to change .I was at the group home for about 18 months.
