I had separation anxiety too! But my gal was alr 5mths when she go ifc (no slot..).. so the whole time i was alone taking care of her with no help. The wk before she went sch, on n off i was tearing and hugging her (sounds very exaggerating).
I know going ifc is also for her own gd coz she gets to learn n play in sch. So when she finally started sch, after dropping her off, i was crying even on my way home n at home. But when the teachers uploaded pictures that day, i was happy she was enjoying herself.. And also on the first day of school she was actually there for full day 🤭
