I was re-reading your beginning comments and think the last sentence is dead on. Something happened at the shelter. I think he just needs time, reassurance, consistency. I know the clinginess is stressful but in his world, this is still not a long time. He needs to know you’ll be his always person, and that just takes getting used to his surroundings and your routines. Deep breath. ….Then take another. I guarantee there’ll be a breakthrough moment. I know it’s really hard, but sometimes the calmer you can be, the calmer he will be.I can't get Sam to cooperate. He's been like this all day. Whenever I want to do something, whether it be using the bathroom, doing my Mommy chores etc. NOTHING is working. He just won't listen. I am exhausted and stressed out, esp. because of that worm issue. At the moment he's sprawled in front of the bedroom doorway and he just won't let me enter. I am crying.
