Remember the words of Susan David, “You are like the blue sky. Feelings are like clouds- they are only passing through.”

Adopted children can have far bigger feelings to master compared to their peers who were not.

If you are a parent, how do you take care of yourself without feeling ashamed or guilty? If you are parent to a child with special emotional needs, you likely need to take extra care of yourself too. Please share your story in the comments.

@shashisahai.bsky.social - great piece of writing!
If you are a parent (regardless of how you became a parent) read this!

If you are someone’s child, read this!

All you got might have been shade from your parent, but that’s a lot of what the parent-child relationship about.
