My 3 yr old son keeps screaming, yelling, whining, complaining "I want...

...daddy" and his daddy & I just separated? I feel horrible that he misses his dad so much, he will only be seeing him once a week for a dinner visit and every other weekend but this is torment on me, I hate his father for leaving us. Our children are 1 & 3 years old and I'm 16 weeks pregnant. This whole thing is VERY painful for me, but I know I'm supposed to stay strong for all of us and reassure him, but it's like my son is attacking me with it. He only says it when he gets in trouble and I'm reprimanding him about something. His dad doesn't call him or talk to him at all during the times in between their visits and my son is becoming very aggressive, how do I deal with this? I'm losing my mind because his cries for daddy are hurting me.

It seems like your son is not taking the separation very well. My advice would be to take him to a counselor who will help him get though this.
