How do you cope with separation anxiety? My friend is now going back to work after giving birth to her now 2 y/o baby. She's been telling me how difficult it is for her to be away for long hours from her little one. However, she needs to work to be able to support her baby.

I just didn't know how to handle it. Like other moms, I also ended up quitting my job and be a stay at home mom. I get too paranoid and sad every time I leave for work so it didn't do me any good. For those who have overcome it, I salute you. After 4 years of being a stay at home parent, I still don't have plans of going back to the corporate world.
