S.S.
I just have a hard time with this manipulating thing. It is possible that she misses you, but it is also possible that she is teething or something else. Did you feel around for some new molars or something. Try a little children's tylenol if you think that could be it. It will get better. My children are older but I always assumed everyone else was right. You know your child of course better than anyone and you of course need your sleep. How is her eating? The tough love thing is good for teenagers, but right now if you need your sleep do whatever it is that will help you get sleep and ignore all the other people who aren't there in the middle of the night with you. Maybe a nice long warm bath before she goes to bed, or food that is comforting, music, etc. Unfortunately you will have to experiment. I remember those days and they do not last forever. Good luck with your little sweetie and sleep will come one day.
