Anyone else struggle when family want their child to stay with them? I find it very hard to be away from my DD who is now 4 as I work long hours and get limited time with her in the week and at weekend she wants to spend time with DH as he works away during the week. There have been several occasions I've been bullied into sending her away to stay with DH family who live over 2 hours away and been left at home on my own. Fed up of them acting like I should be happy to be rid of DD as if she's a burden. It's not that I'm worried she'll come to real harm being away from me but my MIL in particular will actively disregard my wishes when it comes to DDs discipline and routine. To top it off if I question anything she does the whole family gangs up on me. I have had issues with depression and anxiety in the past and am wondering if it's just me or if others feel the same way?
