The Coexistence of Joy and Grief

I had a good day overall today but there were some hiccoughs. Nothing serious really, just hormone related challenges. The dogs, as always, were a joy to walk with; they make for good company.

But on the other hand, my grief has been heavy again today. I keep wondering how it's possible to have heard from 3 sources about my past trauma & how obvious it had been to these people that I had been sexually abused & yet DSS did nothing. And to me this means all 3 of these people failed to advocate for me (& my siblings) in terms of preventing us from being sent back to our biological parents. I don't know what stopped them from doing so, but it seems there was at least some degree of wilful ignorance on the part of DSS.

Don't get me wrong, there are often moments of joy within the days where grief fills my consciousness...but this question has been eating away at me this evening.
