I have a unhealthy attachment to my daughter. And I don’t know how to fix it. I know it’s unhealthy. I never want anybody else to have her but me. Weekends evenings. I always want her with me when I’m not working. I don’t get relief when she’s with anybody else. I don’t want “me time” or date nights. People want to see her and keep her and I can’t allow it. I’ll literally set home an cry without her. I have hobbies but I get too depressed to do anything. I just wait until i get her back. I know it’s not normal or healthy. But I don’t know how to let go any.
I’m like this! So is my husband. My kids are always with me. When I worked I would be Way from my daughter. My since my sons been born. I don’t even let anyone hold him. I get anxiety. I get anxiety going to the store by self without him and him with his dad. I have no idea what I’m going to do when I go back to work. And if I even can go back. I am so scared
Soooo, this is me 🤷🏻♀️ my son is almost 1, and he’s only been out of my reach three times. Twice in the hospital, my mom went with him both times, and then last week! I was super sick and my mom came by and took him to do some errands while I took a spa worthy shower. I don’t think it’s unhealthy. I’ve seen first hands the ugly inthe world, keeping him with me is safer and brings a peace of mind 🤷🏻♀️ like @aliciaanewsome, said, If they’re older and it’s the same thing, then we’d be having some serious issues 😅 ❤️
I tend to be like this with all my kids. I trusted my dad, but he's not around anymore ... I don't trust anyone else with my kids, besides my husband. We don't have any other family around anymore, even when we did I couldn't leave them very long. They are so small and this world is so evil. I'll protect them as long as I can
Protective mama instincts. That’s all. If something happens to her, you’re responsible. So, I don’t think the attachment is a bad thing. I mean when she’s 16 and you’re still like that, yeah that’s bad! Lol. But she’s a little girl. You’re fine!
I am the same with my 3rd child. I only let her go to my mom's for 2 hrs but even that is a struggle my mom gets so mad because I keep texting her.
I always have instant regret when I let my girl go with others and don’t even know what to do with myself and the house is so empty feeling an quiet without her BUT I know she’s forming bonds and memories with her grandparents who won’t be here long. Nothing wrong with doing it either way but I totally get it!
@massmomma16, I want the ability to let her go places with people. Instead of being so selfish with her. But I don’t know how without feeling terrible and missing her. I can’t enjoy myself if she’s not with me. People judge me for it but they don’t understand.
I think this how I’ll be with my first child but nowadays you have to be this way ! Sooo much stuff going on
She was my first too. An we’ve been through a lot together. I raised her alone. So now that I’m pregnant again I don’t feel as if I’ll be that attached to this baby because I’ll have to always share him with his dad.
This is going to be me when my little guy starts day care and I go back to work
