Motherly Advice

I have read some articles, searched the internet and am reaching out for some advice...to my fellow mothers.
Bentley has been going through what I hope is a phase. She has major seperation anxiety. She will not let me leave the house, the room or be out of her sight. She LOVES her sitter and when Dad drops her off, no big deal. When I drop her off, she cries and throws a fit for about three seconds.
The real problem is at home. Brade is SO good to her. He is always willing to play with her, wrestle with her, get her whatever she wants, but she cries if he even looks at her.
She will not let me out of her sight. I can't shower, go the bathroom, go downstairs....ANYTHING without her having a complete meltdown. She loves to tease her dad and gets so excited when he gets home, but heaven forbid he look at her. I am thinking he associates dad with me leaving....unfortunatly. I don't know the answer or how to cope with it. It is very stressful on ALL of us!
WHAT DO I DO?
