You're showing me (BSW student) how tough child welfare social work can be and how it isn't so easy to "leave it all at the office".<BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up -- social work burns people out because its nature is so intimately woven with other people's lives. <BR/><BR/>I am glad that you have a good network and also that your boss lets you have some time off.<BR/><BR/>I think it is easier to leave things behind if you have a really busy home life, right? Like if there are two cats, a husband, a dog and three kids -- it would be easier to forget about work. It would be difficult to forget about work in a quiet house. Maybe you need a buffer between work and home -- I try to use the gym (don't always get there)!<BR/><BR/>Hope you get to fly home to the USA for the holidays.Lilibethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853356799275870741noreply@blogger.com
