In reply to How do I leave him?, posted by All Done on August 8, 2004, at 11:35:49
Oh, I really feel for you. I know how very hard this can be. You're probably right, though, it's you not wanting to leave him. I have three children and I've had to do this bunches of time and it always broke my heart on the first day.(To show you how bad I could make it be for me, my oldest started kindergarten and my baby daughter started daycare ON THE SAME DAY. Whatever possessed me to do that, I'll never know, but I didn't stop crying all day.)
Then it got easier, and if it didn't I usually made different work arrangements so that I could either work from home some days, or I cut back to PT work.
For me it always triggered my abandonment issues.
He's your first (and maybe your only?) so just trust your heart. You will still be his favorite person in the whole wide world for years to come.
best,
antigua
