Thanks for the post... I was a older single Mom with first child and definitely unprepared for the first couple weeks of transition / attachment that either me or child would go through.
There may have been post that discussed this and I was not open to hearing it and did not read up on it. For those in the process.. PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEART TO THIS MESSAGE that Nichalyson has so graciously shared.
It is so much better to be prepared and armed with the knowledge of attachment / transition and not need it than be in the middle of the transition, stressed out, totally exhausted and not have the knowledge or time to get it!!!
( Also stock up on batteries for all those toys , swings, etc
