[QUOTE="Malika, post: 466511, member: 11227"] Hi Kttlc. Sorry you are going through this difficult time. What happens [B]after[/B] you have left your son - how long after does he settle down? I ask because I think my son also suffers from anxiety (though many would not guess this) and he has always had difficulty separating from me, though it is better now. There have been occasions when he seemed almost hysterical when I left him at a childminder or activity centre and sometimes I would hover around after to listen (where he couldn't see me) and he stopped almost immediately! And the childcarers would always tell me he had been fine and happy during the day. So I am just asking this to clarify what is happenng with V. One thing that does occur to me - and please throw this out the window if it just doesn't feel right or applicable - is that children are [B]so[/B] absorbent of our moods and of what they perceive happening around them. Is there any possibility with all the therapists and specialists that V is seeing right now, that he is beginning to "see" himself as somehow different and more fragile than other children, as if this is a script he now has to perform? Again, if this is way off, just forget it... At any rate, keep on in there - you are working so hard at this and really being such a great mother to him. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
