[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is 5. I seriously dunno what to do anymore. I am just sitting crying. I let him go to bed sad. :( [/quote] OP, a bad day does not a terrible parent make. When things are calmer, give him a hug and if you feel it's appropriate, apologize for handling big feelings badly. We all do it sometimes, and it's OK to teach a five year old, especially one in a joint custody situation, that feelings are OK. My son was also really needy at that age, wanted to sleep with me, too. He's in high school now. His dad and I have shared custody since he was two and a half, so I've totally been in your shoes. This shit is HARD, and often infuriating. It's OK to tell your son you need a time out. Then take one. [/quote]
