I'm not worried about him being social, I want him to be, as long as I'm there. I'm worried that if he's with other people (and I'm not there to protect him or keep an eye on the other people), he'll be hurt, abused, or neglected. If he's with someone else, I'll have no idea what's going on with him. And right now, he couldn't even tell me if something happened with someone else, he's only 18 months old.

I wouldn't be able to handle the anxiety and panic, fear and worry of him being watched by someone else.

I had a very bad separation problem with my mother. She was my safety. She wasn't bad about separation, but she was very over-protective. She wasn't really controlling at all, she let me have my freedom. My father was very controlling though (and still tries to be).

My father and my father's mother were and still are (only emotionally though) abusive to me. My father was abusive in almost everyway. I was also assaulted by a few "friends" and strangers. So, I know what people can do to other people and I know what people can do to kids and that can be even worse. Especially when the child can't speak freely or cannot speak fluently!

It is possible the dentist appointment had something to do with the dream, but the dentist appointment was 7 months ago.
