Hi,
This is very new to me so please be gentle.
My son is 5 years old, and although he's been away many holidays with me, he is away on his first one with his dad this week. It's still in uk, but will be the first time he's been away longer than 2 nights from me. I know deep down it's going to be fantastic for him, as his dad has went several holidays without him so he is over the moon about it, with a little anxiety leaving but we got over that. They left this morning so my first night alone the emotions are all over the place 🤦🏻♀️ I'm my sons safe person so I know constant calling/ FaceTiming wont work as it will just make him miss me and think about me more, so I'm happy to limit contact to if/when he wants. However knowing this I just can't help thinking about him, how he is and what he's up to. I'm trying to stay busy cleaning, moving rooms and decorating but the no contact from his dad is driving me up the wall. Ive tried explaining how I feel so that he doesn't think I'm interfering but he just keeps fobbing me off. All I've asked is for a few photo updates, that way it won't upset my son but will give me peace of mind. He said he will but hasn't 🤦🏻♀️ at I being unreasonable by asking? I really don't won't to rock the boat or ruin his holiday in way at all but could really be doing with some help in getting through the week.. 🥰
