This was so interesting, and eye- opening! I was afraid to admit that at times I just do not like my adoptive kids! I always love them, but like. . .not so much. And I have been afraid of them at times also. I will be looking into this resource to learn how I can better neuro regulate and take care of myself. Thank you!
