HELP!! Any advice what to tell a 2 year old? overwhelmed: My di*%-head of a stbxh walked out 4 weeks ago and has had very little contact with me and even less with our 2 children. My 2 year old goes to bed every night and cries for his Daddy. Tonite he's been crying for 2 hours and I'm going to loose it. I'm mad at my "husband" for walking out (I had no idea he was intending to leave) and I'm trying not to get mad at my son, but I'm at the end of my rope!! He's having such a tantrum he's woken up my 4 year old and now she's crying for Daddy too! I've cuddled and I've talked and talked and talked to them. They still cry and ask for him. Anybody have any other ideas???? HELP!

Re: HELP!! Any advice what to tell a 2 year old? overwhelmed: I've tried calling and he must be busy with his "new" woman. He's not answering. Must be nice to have no responsibilites... >:(

It'll pass eventually. Just give it time and do your best to keep your patience in the meanwhile. My STBXW left when my son was 26 months, and I think he stopped asking for mommy after about a month.
He now spends equal time with mommy and daddy, and despite the separation is a pretty well adjusted kiddo - and yes I am thankful for that!!
