My daughter of 10 has always been a bit anxious, probably cos her dad and I split up before she was born, he sees him and always has a good time there but it's the going that's difficult (we've tried everything and it's easier now, but like I say still dificult).
Well, she went to her dad's for a month this summer, as usual, but since she got home she's been following me all the time, even from room to room! She freaks every bedtime about me going out in the night - which I've NEVER done unless it was organised with babysitter and she knew about it. I mean I've never gone off and left her - ever! She's always freaking that I might have a car accident when I go to work, every day she says "You're coming to pick me up tonight, right?", yeah like every night, if it's not me it's her stepdad (who she gets on fine with). Anyway, we've never ever forgotten her! I've tried to reassure her, to love her more cos it must be hard for her, but I just don't understand where this anxiety comes from
