Hey all, my 18 month old goes to his Dad's 2 nights during the week and we have experimented with alternate weekends as well but he is getting very bad separation anxiety when I leave him even if it's just me leaving the room so at the mo he is only at his dads 2 nights a week. Has anyone else navigated this while coparenting? I don't want to traumatised him by making him stay there at such a young age but equally I recognise the importance of him having a relationship with his Dad and having regular contact. At the mo his Dad has suggested he stays at mine most days but that he will come help with bedtime and play with him at mine on his "days" so my son is in his lost familiar environment. I'm not sure though - would welcome thoughts on how others navigated this. Thanks x
