Seperation anxiety help please

[Fred08]

Hello

My wife is going on holiday today and I am looking after out two children, I feel terrified something will happen to her and we will be left alone,

I'm worried about my children and what i will do if anything happens,

I keep telling myself its only four days, I could really do with a little support to get through them and stop the terrible anxiety.

I'm anxious of her flying, driving and all other terrible thought, she is so precious.

Thank you for reading.

Hi Fred, I'm sure she feels so blessed to have you too. There is no point in making yourself sick with worry...because none of it is in your control. I'm sure she will be just fine and probably deserves this little vacation. Maybe try and change your focus....think of fun things you can do with your kiddos! She's lucky to have such a loving hubby!

Thank you for the reply, well we have lots planned which will pass the time and is my wife says its only a few days,

I'm just terrified of accidents but as I keep telling myself its so unlikely, I'm trying to be rational and so far so good.

It's very odd to feel this way as I don't know any other fully grown men that do.

Anyway on with today and ill let you know later how it's going.

Thank you
