I noticed in June of 2019 a month after my son turned 3, one year after his dad and I legally separated. Idk what happened, it was almost like when he started preschool/summer camp that June, I was in disbelief that he was in school and having actual conversations w/ other ppl. I noticed earlier in 2019, he began speaking more and more when he was still 2 and I was so happy he was developing like a normal child. Seems like something w/me being a single parent and not married anymore a yr later and him growing up without his father and I to both witness threw me off cuz idk how else to put it. I did have bad postpartum after he was born that lasted 3 1/2 months, but that has long been gone. I'm over protective of him and do anything a mom does for her little 4 year old but even now since June 2019, I feel like he grew up too fast or he's not really my child. It's hard to explain. Again, I still think it has something to do with his father and I now being divorced. Is any of this regular what I'm feeling. I try to ignore it, it comes and goes.

You spent the early part of his life in a postpartum haze then probably didn't have long to enjoy him as a baby before your marriage started unraveling. So you've been busy but he's been growing that whole time. Just try to enjoy the childhood he has left and don't lament what you can't change.

This is your 890th reply.  I don't think what you've described is typical and that it should be further explored in counseling with a licensed professional therapist, who can help you make sense of this and to do what is best, first , for your child, and second, for yourself. Good wishes,

I suppose when a toddler reaches around 9 years old you don't consider them a baby anymore and some nurturing is depleted . (?)
