We are having a few issues with ds recently, I'll try to give as much info as possible whilst trying not to bombard you all.
Ds is 3.5, myself and his dad separated when he was 18 months old. It's very hard trying to deal with ex(narc) but having been through court things are much more settled. Ex has 1x overnight contact per weekend and does nursery pick ups during week when possible.
Ds has always been closer to me, possibly clingy, I've always been primary care giver- at least 90% of care whilst still with ex.
Ds has only recently started to become v upset during his overnights at his dads, although he loves it when dad does nursery pick ups.
Ds is waking earlier each morning( since clocks went back) and is so emotional and fragile- those are the only words I can use to describe him.
Nursery say there are no issues, but at home he cries, a lot about small things- dropping something/ something not being done "properly", if we say no.
He often seems very tired, and I kind if feel this is becoming an excuse I make for him iyswim.
I've recently started given anti histamine as I think he has mild hay fever. He has been having a rough time with constipation although this is now picking up also.
He seems quite irrational and is very up and down, I'm very loving, ds has a good routine at home and is very happy at his nursery.
I've not described this very well, I was worried it would just come out as a load of words on a page.
Is t just a phase, he previously dealt with contact very well, always a few tears when leaving me but nothing prolonged.
I feel like I should be helping him more than I am.
Any thoughts anyone??
