Holiday anxiety not taking DS

[Louby286]

Does anyone feel crippling anxiety about going away and not with DC? DS is going away with his dad for a week and I’m getting 4 days abroad whilst he’s away! Sounds great? Yeah it should! However I’m constantly overthinking it, what happens if something happens to me? What happens if the plane crashes? How will my son cope without me, I can’t leave him with his dad full time as he can’t afford or manage him? Feel so selfish about the thought of leaving him. I really want to be able to go away but I am worried so much I won’t come back and how dreadful that will be for my son!
has anyone else ever felt like this? Any tips on how to calm down about it all?
thanks in advance

People will scoff but I’d be same. Following.

If the worst did happen to you,you'd be surprised just how partners and ex's cope. No one can say how they will react if anything awful was to happen only how they think they will react.

Can you ask for a nightly 'all is great' update on their day to put your mind at ease?

You have to throw the trust fishing rod into the pool sometimes and learn to cope. I bet your child and his dad will have a great time

Hi, yeah absolutely think they will have a fab time and I’m not worried about them on their holiday. Just getting seriously anxious about mine! 🙈 to the point of not wanting to go because I’m so worried something might happen! I know I’m majorly overthinking but I can’t seem to stop it!
