Reply #27: Four is a tough age. He doesn't understand death [View All]

he just knows his mother went away and isn't coming back and he's pissed off about it. I don't know what to tell you about those tantrums, except that regression at this point is perfectly normal. You just don't want to encourage it, so walk away from it when it happens and talk to him about how angry he was and why he was angry and what different things he might do about it in the future as soon as he calms down. He's hurting and he needs to talk.

So do you. I hope you've found people you can talk to. They can help.
