I can relate. I also don't like to leave my children with anyone else 'without a reason' (or even with a reason). I have gotten used to it with my 2.5yr old (since her brother was born, nanna has looked after her alot more). But I still am anxious at times - and positively stress when I have to leave my boy (8mths) even with his father, even for a short period of time. Although I try not to let others know 'how' much this does effect me, because the few times I have the responses have been more negative then supportive.

My tip is to build up slowly and gradually. Start by going in another room for ten minutes. If that is fine then either build up the time or slowly move further away - like ging outside, then down the street or to the park. It is ok to do this at your own pace, but do try to keep that pace moving.
