Letting go of foster care

I have reached the point where I can’t take much more from the foster care system.  It is hard to imagine it becoming any worse, though gauging from all we have experienced from social services thus far, I suppose it’s possible.  We operate now completely on our own.  We refrain from contact with our son’s worker and our continuing home worker.  They have demonstrated to both of us not only their inability to do their respective jobs, they have shown that they are incapable of relating to us in a positive, productive and even at times, professional manner.  I feel like a bad child when dealing with them and I am tired of fighting back.  It’s funny that I used to take their side and insisted that they were underpaid, overworked, and functioned as best they could in a broken system.  Now I realize that they themselves are broken.  The system they operate in; the means with which they conduct business everyday; the culture that defines them and that they perpetuate; it all serves to make it nearly impossible for foster parents to survive this experience.
