Week 2 as a lone parent with SN DS and it's getting harder

[ManxMum]

Husband at University, not due home until Christmas.
Respite down to 3 hours per week.
DS not sleeping past 5am (I'm asleep by 9pm!)
Weekends hard, no husband to help.

What will I be like in three months time?

Sorry to moan as there are sooo many of you worse of than me out there.
Just a bit PMT and down atm

Don't apologise for posting!

Is there any way of getting the respite increased? (Probably a stupid question if the SN board is anything to go by).

You've every right to moan - that sounds like really hard work. Is there any other family who can help you out? Or as Coppertop suggests any chance of more respite? I find the school holidays difficult and my Dh is there in the evenings and weekends.
