Toddler won’t sleep.

Some background: I am a single working mother living abroad from my home country. We moved here to be with my child’s father who is military, but he ended up walking out. I’ve been a single mum for all but four months of my child’s life, and it’s something I really enjoy. Except for the sleep.He has always had issues sleeping, but I thought for a year and a half that it was because he wanted nursing comfort, and I honestly always gave in because I knew it would get him back down quickly so that I could also go back to sleep. When he was 1, it was so bad that he’d wake up 7+ times during the night, only sleeping until 4 am. It was was killing me. Something changed around when he turned 2. I dropped his nap, and he started sleeping through the night until 6-7 am which was such a relief.We were recently able to return home and see family for the first time in two years, and we were sleeping in a guest room without a crib, so we co-slept. He also never really adjusted to the time change despite my desperate attempts to get him on a schedule there, and picked up a daily nap again. He did sleep through the night, though.We returned Tuesday and now he won’t adjust to this time schedule either. And he’s waking up multiple times during the night in his crib screaming in terror, before crawling out and coming to my room, where he refuses to sleep. I can’t handle not attending him while he’s scared and crying that hard. It’s not just whining. He’s usually such a happy kid with mild tantrums. He’s not letting me go to sleep until midnight every night, then wakes up at 4. My mental health is not in a good place as it is, being so isolated with no support system for two years. I need my adult time at night and to get quality sleep, but I’ve tried everything, even letting him cry. Im so desperate for a solution because I really feel sometimes like I can’t survive this again. Has anyone experienced something similar, and if so, how did you overcome it? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3sAOjCJ
