Hello all! Is anyone else dealing with extreme separation anxiety? I'm at the point where this is just making me mad because I don't know what to do. My older 2 children (10 & 6) never really had a problem. They would cry a few minutes when I left them with the sitter and then be fine. Now my son (22m) will literally scream and cry for HOURS! It's to the point where no one wants to watch him because he is inconsolable. My husband had to go pick him up cause his screaming and crying went on for 3 hours. My dad said he cried for 4hrs was fine for about 2 and then started the screaming and crying until I got off work.
