There was a time when I would not leave my children for an hour, never mind a weekend let alone two weeks! My oldest was sick, in and out of the hospital and I couldnt bare to even think of leaving him with anyone. My (ex) DH surprised me with a weekend away and I was dead set against it! My son was only 3 and had never had so much as a babysitter for even an hour.
Reluctantly I went. I had a great time and my son survived! I didnt think I would, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed. Since then I have taken week long trips away and its always the same thing, i dread it at first, but then it works out to be just fine. Now my boys are 18 and 14, and I still get that feeling, even though they are older. So the feeling of not wanting to leave them never goes away, the peace of mind is there knowing that yes, you both will survive, its not the end of the world, and it could be just what you both need.
