I just posted to the blogs some thoughts on secondary trauma and burnout in fostadopt families. It is pretty common for the stresses of caring for a Child of Trauma to significantly impact your emotional life leading to depression, anger, and fatigue.

Have you experienced burnout or secondary trauma? If you have, share how you cope with burnout and secondary trauma. What kinds of things help you through the tough days?
