I need help.
My son is nearly 3. I cannot cope anymore.
We were given our notice on our old place as the landlord wanted to put the rent up (I told him I couldn't afford it). So we contacted another council as the council I was living in wouldn't help me due to me not being in the area long enough.
The other council took us as my partner lives here. We moved in together.
My sons routine has gone. Out the window.....poof.
He hasn't gone to bed at 7 since we moved (before he went to bed without so much as a whinge and slept through).
Now, he stays up, I then lie in bed with him until he falls asleep. If he wakes, I either go to bed or he comes and sleeps on the sofa next to me.
Partner has been in his bed for the last 2 months, whilst he's been in ours with me.
He cries for shit food. Refuses to eat his dinner, breakfast or healthy snacks.
He doesn't listen to me at all.
Tonight, I put him back in his bed (after having it decorated and carpet laid). Led him down, quietly talked to him, told him I wouldn't be laying next to him. He cried for a few minutes but fell asleep. Half an hour later he woke and cried for 40 minutes. I went to calm him but he screamed even louder, grabbed hold of me.
When I finally managed to get out, he ran and grabbed the door before I shut it. Did this 3 times.
I lost it and cried. I can't cope anymore! I need routine.
