How do I deal with separation anxiety?

My son is 7 1/2 months old. His father loves him and thinks the world of him. I know it’s not right for me to keep his son from spending the night with him. he been asking and then finally he just stopped. He does everything for his son or at least his family does. They want to keep him for like 2 weeks at a time. The only time my son spent the night with his father is when I was in the hospital right after my pregnancy. I was still having a lot of pain and stuff that I couldn’t deal with and they kept me overnight. I later found it that it was gallstones. Every child needs a mother and father. I know his dad isn’t happy even though he doesn’t talk about it. I have only like let him keep his son for hours at a time like while I was at school or something and then go pick him up. I just love my son I can’t help it and I know a lot of mothers deal with this. I don’t got out a lot. I don’t have friends I can hang out with so those kinds of answers won’t work.

I wouldn’t let him go for weeks at a time but you do need to let him spend time with his father. I would try to work something out with him where maybe he could have him every other weekend or even just one day a week. At least they would be getting time together then. I know its hard to be away from your baby! I don’t like to be away from my son for very long either but just think of how important it is for them to have a relationship =) Good luck!!!
