And why you were never meant to carry it alone.There’s a lot of talk about the logistics of foster care.The background checks. The home studies. The training hours.Even the bedtime routines and trauma-informed parenting techniques.But what no one really talks about — at least not out loud — is the emotional load that comes with foster parenting.It’s not just heavy.It’s complicated.And most days, it’s completely invisible to everyone but you.If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions while your own are bursting at the seams…If you’ve ever wondered why this feels so hard even when you’re doing everything “right”…If you’ve ever asked, “Am I the only one falling apart quietly behind the scenes?”This post is for you.Let’s name the emotional load foster moms carry — and talk about how to stop carrying it all alone.Join the Foster Mama Lifeline here: https://stan.store/fearless_fostering/p/reclaimed-mama-community-pfdw5q2kFind all my resources here: https://stan.store/fearless_fostering
