Nicole:

This is such a fabulous post! You are speaking to me. I love the suggestion of thinking through what the triggers are. I feel like if I had a sense of what was lighting my fire, then before I get into certain situations I could mentally prep myself a little better. I will definitely do this. I also really appreciated your list of hidden parent thoughts.

Thanks for another helpful post!

Amy
