Sorry if this has been mentioned before but Sarah saying she "validated his feelings" really frustrated me. (WHY use the air quotes for this, I just don't understand it)
Validating his feelings needs to happen all the time, not only when he's throwing a tantrum as big as this one. It's the small moments that counts as well. How many times have we heard him screaming "mum" for attention in the background while she's busy on her phone. I don't know if you all remember that story when Abby ran out of his room and he thought it was a dinosaur and got scared? He ran to Kurt immediately for a hug and comfort while she laughed on the side as she insta-storied him. I can't even imagine how humiliated he must have felt in that moment, it made me feel so bad for him.
It's all of those moments that lead to a tantrum as big as this one. Not having someone as important as a parent comfort you and validate you in a moment like that tends to duck you up. I've been there (and am in therapy now as an adult). There is a reason he asks for Kurt all the time and it's beyond me how she doesn't see why. Maybe she'll have a chance to reflect on it as she enjoys her massage while leaving her kid behind...lol.
