Malachai is suddenly scared of everything. Sleeping in bed alone (D & E are in the room with him, he is freaking b/c he is physically alone in the bed), going to the bathroom alone, being alone in general in any room in house and unable to see other people. The list goes on, but most of them simplify to him freaking out when alone.
I was letting D sleep in bed with him, but they don’t really fit in one bed anymore (it’s a twin size mattress) without someone hanging over the edge or complaining about space.
It’s gotten to the point that he asks E to go to the bathroom with him b/c I wont take him. I will at night, but first thing in the morning when it’s bright as can be?
I just don’t get it. Do I need to call the shrink we saw about his initial testing (she also does counseling and stuff) or is this going to pass? I don’t remember Dorian going through a phase like this, which made me stop and see if it was something I had to address or something I could continue to ignore.
poor bubby, i don’t have a kid that big so i’ve got no advice. i recall going through a phase like that as a child, but i can’t say whether it’s normal or not. hope you get some reassurance soon. xox
