Right after Landon was born, his mother connected to him very strongly. She would play with him and always spend time with him. This bond lasted up until Landon was about 5 months. It was at this time where the mother started to worry that she was connecting way too much to baby Landon. She started becoming very distant and would spend much less time with him. Whenever he would cry, she would hand him over to the father and walk away. She began to hang out with her friends and was never home. -
