oh Maryalice
I am so sorry things have gotten this bad for you. I was hoping the new job, would make things better for you..
But did you not say you would not be away all the time from hom ???
Do what someone else said, buy a puppy or a teddy bear, two just alike and name them and tell him you will always keep it close to you, make is a small one that you can carry in your purse or leave in the car, when you feel down hold it, and tell Alex to do the same.
When I frist had to leave my daughter at my mom's I hd a teddy bear for over 10 years, I gave it to her, and told her to keep in on her bed at night, and that mommie would always be there when she needed me. She still carries the bear to bed with her at night.
She has since 1999 so I feel safer nowing we both have one.. I have a small one I keep in my desk, and it is one she bought me it is a rat, instead of a bear, but she liked it for it is my fav color, purple It will get better,
Have a little faith, and it will all get better..
