3!/2 old son hitting after seperation

[Mari412]

My 3 1/2 year old son has been hitting and biting. My son's father was recently given 50/50 time sharing. My son has been mad at me because of this. He tells me why I left him at his dad's too long. He will not play by himself any more, and stays by my side. When he's trying to show affection he hits me instead. He sleeps with me now and doesn't want to be alone. What is he going through? How can I help him?

Has he any step siblings at his Dads house would there be any reason he is upset ,sometimes it is confusing for children to be shared out ,it is good he spends time with his Dad however maybe you need to get a handle on if he gets on well there ,it sounds as if he is acting out , as he tells you you have left him at his Dads too long perhaps there are some issues when he is with his Dad , If he didnt used to be afaid and now is not wanting to sleep alone ,he is telling you something find out more about the days he has there, and any upsets that arise.
