Foster Parents and counseling...

Can a foster parent get couseling for feeling anger or depression or for whatever reason without losing their foster children?

Will the county help you with this or is it better to go through your own doctor?

I think my husband and I might benefit from talking to a counselor, for ourselves and how we are feeling. Nothing major is going on, our marriage is fine, we have actually been closer since our foster children came, but I still think we would do better if we had somone to talk to about how we were feeling w/o feeling judged.

Is it ok, for foster parents to ask the county with help with this, or should be just try and find someone ourselves?

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to ignore this feeling that I have the we could benefit from talking with someone, but I don't want to lose my foster children over something minor either. We could just try and talk to friends more... but I was just thinking that someone with no interest in our lives would be best.
