Leaving baby with grandparents
Iam a mother of 8 month old baby. I was on extended leave till now but as everybody is getting back to their offices now, I may receive call from my office to come back to work. My parents stay in another city which is almost 800kms from my workplace. As an it employee I will not be able to take care of my baby so i dont have any other option other than leaving my baby with my parents.As it is very far from my working city it is not possible to go often and visit. I feel very guilty and disappointed with the thought of leaving my baby. How can i come out of these rollercoaster of feelings and be mentally prepared about being away from baby? Please help

Hi.. Please speak to your HR/Management and seek work from home, if possible. If not, look for other opportunities in your field. Your kid is young and it is natural for you to feel estranged. The kid is going to survive anyway and will learn to adapt. But it may impact his/her psychological make-up later-on in his life. Feeling guilty or not is a psychological response which can be dealt with Counselling but the decision is very real with no right and wrong choices.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
