It was no little melt-down. When she blew, she blew!! Mount St. Helens came to mind.
But I am here to say she recovered quicker than I have ever seen her recover. I took a little longer. I was fine at first; calm, all that. But later the adrenaline kicked in and I shook for an hour. I had a hard time looking past the behavior then to being able to give her hugs assure her that I love her, which she absolutely needed. She was ashamed and figured she didn't deserve love. You could see it. Later she gave me the biggest kiss and hug.

Those post traumatic stress symptoms are so hard. I can so relate to this post. Sorry. But so glad Missy recovered quickly. I am seeing this same sign of progress in Jackson. So encouraging. Hate the rages but love that they are not lasting as long.
We WILL make it. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
