ATTENTION: SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE
Anyone ever took their young child to see a therapist/counselor at 2.5 years old. Since my recent domestic violence situation with her father which has caused ALOT to change, location, no visits with her dad or his family, not being where she normally is; she’s been very uneasy & angry. & I feel so bad because idk what to do. I know she’s sad she doesn’t see her dad anymore but it’s what’s best right now. She’s use to being around everyone & now it’s just us. Luckily my boyfriend has stepped up to fill in the void, anything she needs or want he has it for her & she’s slowly allowing him too but I don’t want to confuse her either. I was shocked last night she was so happy to see my boyfriend she was clapping and dancing like crazy & smiling which made me smile but I still don’t want her confused just in case the courts decided to let him get supervised visits for now which hasn’t started yet
I haven’t. But it honestly wouldn’t hurt to try. Especially at a young age sometimes getting out of a routine they’ve been so used to can cause a lot of outbreaks and anger. At least until they readjust. As someone here said, they’ll mostly just ask her simple questions and have her draw how she’s feeling or what she’s thinking to help determine how she’s actually doing. Normally too a child counselor can slowly get a child to open up.
I’m definitely going to give it a try because I don’t like seeing her like this and then yelling at her when I know it’s not really her fault
@gianasmom, yeah I can imagine how frustrating it can be. Especially being pregnant and having her entering those twos lol.
I think it would be beneficial for all. Good luck with it ☺️
(Hopefully I don’t get attacked for saying this cause it’s my opinion) but if her actual father is really bad for her and for you then I don’t see a problem with children picking their own father ya know? Like my child’s father signed away all of his rights as a father before he was born and don’t get me wrong I will tell my son that my BF isn’t his real father but he acts more like one than his real father ever did ya know? It’s a right not a privilege
@gianasmom, pray on it too girl I’m personally a HUGE believer in prayer and sometimes when it’s too much to handle I literally say “God I cannot handle this I’m giving it to you” and things always fall into place I’ll be praying for you and your family I know it’s gotta be tough
@missjaimelee, I definitely need to pray more honestly, I slacked off so much but by you saying this, it’s a sign that it’s time I start again. Thank you so much
@gianasmom, you’re welcome I have been slacking off too super bad up until recently I did bible study every single day while I was pregnant but the second Joey was born I stopped praying it’s like my son became my main focus but now I’m getting back into it because God comes first always as much as I love my son I want to teach him that too but not jam it down his throat either
@missheatherbaby, which one did you go too? I was doing some research and found Mount Sinai, I’ve heard good things about them overall
@gianasmom, I was living in Massachusetts at the time. I have heard that mount Sinai is great though.
@missheatherbaby, I’m definitely going to give them a call. I want to nip this in the bud before the baby comes
@lottydotty, tell me something 😂😩 you always have a answer lol
@gianasmom wait until she gets to three oh my lorrd my child has a slick fucking mouth 😭🤦
@lottydotty, waittttt?!?! Girl sometimes I look at my daughter like whose child are you lmao. Her mouth is slick for someone who can’t talk clearly. But I know she heard her dad say a lot of things so now I’m trying to redirect her. I can only imagine 3
No I haven’t had the need, but I think that is a good idea! 💕Stay strong!!!
Thank you, it’s just really rough seeing her like this because I know she genuinely loves her dad & not seeing him is so off to her. But it’s what’s best for right now
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Is it werid that i check my wife's recently used emojis to see which ones she sent and ask her who she sent them to???
