I've not got any family near me as well, so I know how hard it is. I can't really have a normal conversation with my mum and dad as I don't like to hear them bad mouthing H and there's nothing they can do anyway! That's why I needed the support of my MIL, but I can't trust her even though she was more like my mum than my own mum. Sorry to hear you're not sleeping again I've just read in my book that if you can't sleep, get up after 15 mins and whatever is on your mind to go and do it! So if it's a pile of laundry that's bothering you or paperwork or something else then start on that. When you feel tired again then go back to bed. You will soon condition your brain and your body to thinking more about sleep and not getting up to do jobs. Don't watch TV or that will stimulate your brain and make it harder for you to relax
