I felt this way too. I brought home a newborn - never having had one before. The learning curve is huge. If it was just the kids, it would be tough. With all that you have to do for Social Services, it sometimes seems impossible. All together it is plain overwhelming. When I start to feel that way, I take the baby for a walk. It helps to have someone to talk to who knows that you just need to let go of the pressure. My person for that is my sister. She knows that I'm letting go so that I can cope. Foster parenting is a big life change. Life changes like this usually make a person uncomfortable before the sense of well-being sets in. If you need someone to vent to, this group is wonderful.
