For fear of being treated differently, I hid my care identity. Some would say I lead a double life. I told those who also had care experience and talk freely about my journey within the care system. My peer group of friends knew nothing and to them I was just a “normal” young person who lived at home with both parents..read Ashley's story: http://www.edinburghfostering.org.uk/ashley-works-for-real-change-for-young-people/
