I'm not surprised. Mlces can't stand for us to be angry w/them, even though they've pushed our buttons. They want to know that mommy and daddy are there for them at all times, right where they left us. Even though they want to walk all on their own, they still like to know that the apron string is still there in case they need to tug on it.

Poor man...he just doesn't get it yet.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
