Hello,
I feel as if my 15 month old hates me.
When he was younger from birthday - 9 months I was always number one always wanting me be held by me etc.
his dad was slightly including in this but no where near as much as I was.
now he goes as far as being aggressive towards me so I’m not near him, he will hit me if I pick something off the floor or go near him when he’s with someone else,
if I try and take him back after someone else has been holding him he’ll scream and cry until I put him down or give him to someone else.
I’m always there for him, in the middle in the night when he screams I’ll get up and I’ll be sleeping next to him and that won’t be a problem, when he’s hungry I’ll feed him, when he hurts himself I’ll pick him up.
I’ll get involved when he plays to make it more fun, watch TV shows, take him swimming or to the park, I’ll do nursery drop off and pick ups.
but as soon as other people are around it’s like I’m useless not important. Like I’m not needed. He would rather be with anyone else even strangers.
it makes me feel so worthless as a mother and in general. I sometimes wonder what’s the point in trying.
i want to cry everytime but I have to play along as if it’s ok that he’s being this way.
but I’m really not okaii, I just want to hide away and never come back when this happens.
please tell me someone’s had to go through this,
