I need some advice on giving the MLCer space vs being too distant.
I've had a crazy past week or so with H. He's been way UP and way DOWN with his moods. Very happy and content, one day....and raging mad the next...little things set him off.
So, I have been trying to give space, leave him to himself, etc., especially when he is super angry. Just work on me and do my own thing....focus on the kids, etc.
Here is the problem. Both times he has been SUPER angry in the past 7-8 days, he's commented on how I seem like I don't care anymore....how I seem like I'm absent and don't care if I see him or not. He has brought this up several times.
It really seems to be on his mind that I don't care about him anymore.
When is the MLCer needing to feel you near them...not far? Is he just saying this to have something else to be upset at me about...or does he really need to feel like I'm there for him? And how do I manage that delicate balance?
