9 Month old daughter has sepeartion anxiety at night....?

My husband and I are currently living with my mom, because he'll be going to a police academy for 12 weeks and my mom wants to help me with my daughter. Anyway, if my husband go out with friends after our daughter is asleep she will wake up several times during the night, refuse to go back to sleep and often cry for long periods of time until we get home. When my husband and I are home she will wake up 1-2 times during the night. Is this seperation anxiety or something else? Please help!!!

    It's probably a phase, and although miserable, hopefully it will be over soon. My daughter is 11 1/2 months now, and she has always been a great sleeper except when she turned 9 months old, all of a sudden for about 2 weeks she would wake up a few times and cry during the night. I was thinking it was separation anxiety, but who knows. It only lasted about 2 weeks then her sleep went back to normal again.
