[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 58779, member: 2287"] Oh boy, I'm the resident expert on Separation Anxiety!! My son will be twelve in Oct. and it's still severe, though a tiny bit better than it used to be. When we moved into a new house we let him pick which bedroom he wanted, and it was next to the Master, of course. Prior to moving (6 mo ago) he's slept on our bedroom floor since he was out of the crib. I put the kabash on him sleeping in our bed, but it was almost as bad. I had to crawl over him if I got up in the night to go to the bathroom. Anyway, back to him picking a bedroom. All was fine for a short while with him sleeping in his new room. Lately, he's sneaking into our room at night to sleep on the floor again. I scolded him (he maintains he has no idea why he does it, but he's aware that he's doing it. Not like he's sleep-walking.), so now he sleeps in the threshold of the doorway into our bedroom. So now he can say he's NOT in our room! ARG!! Our son has major anxiety issues and this is one of the worst. When husband takes him to the movie, it's nothing for difficult child to call me just to see what I'm doing. He used to sneak into the nurse's office at school and call me from there. He still calls me from a friend's house....for absolutely nothing. difficult child has ONE friend and he's now slept over about three times...that's why I say it's a tiny bit better. Every time I ask a therapist how I should address it, they tell me that's the least of his worries. *Sigh*...still doesn't make it any easier!
