KML, that's a pretty simple answer. My work is taking off, and I'm totally immersed. Sleep training with D can take upwards of 3 weeks. I just don't haven't had it in me - and have been using the time exBF is here to do everything I can.
I don't know how she can sense my energy from another room. I was pretty calm by the third night, having just had a fun family halloween party. If there's something unconscious on my part going on, I can't do much, but overall I'm fine. If I put her down and go work in another room and she wakes up 2 hours later and won't go back to sleep until 6 am, I don't know that that's my energy.
You husband may have traveled when you already had a sleeping child and he wasn't there one minute and gone the next - leaving your child in a room screaming and then disappearing.
Is it possible it could be exBF? I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances. I'm not the one taking off and "unable to parent b/c D is out of control." As if, as parents, we have that choice to just drive off. Who does that?
