Any one know about adult Seperation Anxiety? There is a lot of information out there for children but not adults. I think a friend of mine has seperation anxiety (from her husband) and I wanted to approach her with some information, hopefully to help her realize what might be wrong and get her some help.
Just so you know what we are dealing with......This isn't just your "I get sad when I am not with my husband." This is freak out, crying uncontrollably, getting paranoid any time even the subject of him going anywhere for longer than a day comes up. Currently the drama is she doesn't want him to schedule a Men's Weekend with his friends in October because...well, I am not sure....but oh my goodness is she against it. I asked her if there was a reason (he cheated before or did something bad) and she said no, not a specific one and that she didn't understand why she felt so sad about him going away for the weekend.
I googled seperation anxiety but didn't come up with much for adults. I was hoping maybe someone out there could perhaps recommend a book or website. I would be willing to buy a book for her as this is driving ME crazy since I am the one she calls...
Thanks!!
