About
You love your adopted child fiercely, but some days you don't feel it. Your body goes into fight-or-flight during their meltdowns. You're walking on eggshells, waiting for the next crisis. The exhaustion of carrying both your child's trauma and now your own is bone-deep. You cry in your car after drop-off. You lie awake at 3am. Your shoulders stay locked, jaw clenched, stomach churning. Maybe you adopted after infertility, hoping it would heal that wound. Or you're grieving a failed adoption. You worry that you're failing your child, that other adoptive parents handle this better, that struggling means you shouldn't have adopted.
