For months now Danielle has been having problems sleeping on and off at her Mom's house, a situation bad for Danielle and her Mom. She often wakes Mom up in the middle of the night unable to get back to sleep and wants to sleep with her. Mom has been taking a firmer attitude on this and we have both been speaking with her because Mom is worn down to frazzle and not getting enough sleep. As she and her partner are running themselves ragged already trying to get their new Home Improvement business up and flying. We will speak to Danielle and she will go for a few nights or a week OK and then wake Mom up every night for a few nights. last night she talked to Mom and nothing specific is bothering her though little bits and pieces of things are. Anyway, we left it at she will work hard to do better in this regard. The alternatives are more therapy or a visit to the sleep center to see if they can figure out things better. While Mom seems more affected than Danielle (Mom says her teachers do not notice her being tired at work and she is getting great grades) it is taking it's toll on Mom and I do feel for both of them! Danielle does sleep fine at my house though. I wish she could do the same at Mom's. Things like this make me feel so bad for what I have caused for my kids (and now the X too) after the divorce.
