I'm glad to hear you found a good therapist, Jenna
.
When I was going to both my therapists, they double teamed me with homework and writing assignments all the time. It really helped me and I love writing too
.
I have written a lot of letters to each of my girls. I wrote each of my girls a letter right after they were born telling them about my feelings for them, why I placed them, and about the time I shared with them as their mom in the hospital and placement etc. For the first year after each of my girls were born, I did my best to write an individual letter to them separate from the letters I wrote to their aparents every time I wrote their aparents.
With my almost 3 yr old, I have started just writing individual special birthday letters to her every birthday and then I write notes on cards etc throughout the year, but only write an individual letter to her on her bday every year now. I still write individual letters to my 1 yr old every other time I write to her aparents - I'm spacing out her individual letters now though.
Even though I've written quite a few individual letters to each of my girls, it's still hard for me to write those letters to them every time I write to them.
