My daughter is one year old but she cries a lot when i have to go out. She cries non-stop for long and if i try to explain to her that i will be back soon, she does not seem to understand. It is very painful for me to go out leaving her. I try to go out, when she is sleeping or when she is in another room so that she does not see me while going out. I know this is not a right thing to do but I do not have any other option. Please help me.....
