SO much guilt right now :(

Ma

Backstory: my husband has been in Afghanistan for two weeks and I just started getting super lonely. My sister is chronically ill (Lyme). We have been trying to get together but she lives 45 minutes away and is usually too tired visit and my LO (8 months) does not nap if she is not at home.

SO I decided we could stay the night at my sisters. HUGE mistake. First her bedtime went as usual but she wouldn't go to sleep. So I laid her with me in the bed and she was just playing with me so after 30 minutes of her playing I put her in the pack n play (which she has slept in before) so I could eat dinner and get ready for bed. I don't do CIO but I'll let her cry for a bit when she's playing with me so I get a few things done then go get her and rock her to sleep. So when I went back after 5 minutes (I didnt eat dinner or ready for bed/ I just cleaned up her dinner) she could NOT calm down. It took me an hour to calm her down and asleep in the pack n play. So my sister and her husband and I played a game and then right when we were going to bed she starts crying (10:00). I could not get her to settle down- she just screamed and cried. Finally at 10:45 she started calming down but was super energized and playful. I laid her in the bed with me and she would fall asleep and then wake up crying. Finally at 11:50 I decided to just go home. So I packed everything up and we just got home. She fell asleep in the car but woke up when I brought her inside. When I put her in the crib she fell asleep right away. I just feel like ABSOLUTE shit for putting her through that. I was all proud and thinking "oh I'm going out of my comfort zone and trying new things" and I hate myself right now. I just need some reassurance that she will be okay. I'm a FTM and was feeling great about handling everything while the husband was away and now I feel completed destroyed 😢
