Whats going on with my DS... getting worried.

DS (3) has gone from being a lovely gentle polite little boy to hitting, kicking and having massive tantrums, crying over nothing, asking for his daddy all the time.

it seems like overnight a month or so ago he just changed.

is it just terrible two's late or hormones or something else?

im a single parent and he only sees his dad every four weeks, the last three visits he's had DS overnight for one night away from the house (not done this before) and each time its been at a different place.

When he was crying for his dad the other day he said he wanted to go to X's house, when i said maybe daddy would take him next time he became hysterical and said "no he wont because all the doors are closed and the garden door is closed and its all too sad"

Last night he came into my room in the middle of the night and said he wanted to go to the park, when i said it was night-time he just lashed out hitting me with the palm of his hand at first and then with a closed fist.

im starting college next week which will mean he's going to nursery 3 days in a row all day.

sorry for the ramble but im so worried about him.

anyone have any ideas please? or reassurance that its just a phase?!

thanks so much you two, nice to know im not alone.

i will always love my son, i'd go through hell for him. i know i've done a good job so far, just not perfect and i need to be to make up for exP.

pirate... what you said about pleasing him more than listening to DC's... you are very wise.

i've always thought... he is DS's dad and i want to encourage that relationship but at what stage do you start to realise they dont deserve that relationship (exP i mean) ?espec. when it is adversely affecting my son.
