When my son was 3, his mum and i separated. Hes now 5, never showed any signs of distress about the separation, i have him on weekends, he seems to be well adjusted, happy, friendly and well behaved. But he says he misses me. Which makes me wonder if he wonders why i cant be there all the time. Should i explain it to him? I didnt think that he'd be aware that we separated when he was 3, but according to all the articles ive read online, even toddlers are aware of a separation :/
