Quite sad really and I’ve never really heard of anything like this before (especially with it being towards the mum) but my son can be really quite horrible to me when other people are there - especially his dad. He’s always been a man’s man but if his dad is around he literally acts like he hates me and pushes me away from him and shouts ‘NO’ if I even look at him or go near him. He’s now 2 and has been doing it pretty much his whole life or since about 18 months. It’s absolutely heartbreaking for me and everyone always says he will grow out of it but here we are 2 years in and he’s still doing it a lot.
he never gets excited to see me and if I pick him up from places he sometimes won’t even look at me for 20 minutes or so and just shouts no and pushes me away. I get so excited to see him and miss him so much but I literally dread picking him up because I know what’s coming. I’ve tried just ignoring him and continuing to play etc and sometimes he snaps out of it but sometimes not. It’s so hard I just don’t know what to do. It makes me feel like he doesn’t love me and wouldn’t even care if I wasn’t there anymore. My husband just keeps telling me to persist and keep trying with him and play with him but how can I when he’s just shouting at me to go away ?! I just want to cry. Please can someone help
