how do I give up my anger
I have been told by the premier adoption attachment therapist in New Jersey that I have to give up my anger towards CC in order to move forward. She didn't tell me how to do that though. I must come across as a raging bitch but I am really not. I think more than angry I am just bored and tired of trying to build a relationship and make a connection to someone who can't give me much back, and what she does give me back seems to be so superficial. I wish I could just be satisfied that I am doing the best that I can and it's pretty good. Most of my my anger is directed at myself for not feeling good enough. I am not affectionate enough, I am not trying hard enough, I don't know the right things to say. I feel so inadequate as a mother to damaged children, and yet if when we don't have a placement I don't feel like I am doing enough. If I could get over second guessing myself and make the most of each day, each experience, each child, and know that I am doing the best that I can (which I am. It might not be right all of the time but it is definitely the best that I can), I would be able to find peace with all of this.
