Ds is wide awake !

Ds wakes up in the middles of the night lately wide awake wanting to play! He doesn't self soothe yet I still have to put him to sleep but I don't think that's the problem since I've been doing it for 7months and this just started happening 2 days ago. I need some help and advice please. I know I have to start with helping him go to sleep on his own but when even he is tired and I try to put him down he cries unless I fully put him to sleep. I don't have a problem with the Ferber method to an extent like after he's done crying I have to pick him up to let him know everything g is alright but I can't really use it when it comes to bedtime and even if I'm not using it he still just won't go down if he's not fully asleep without crying so I have to nurse him to sleep because I live with my mother in law and she's not horrible but she works a lot and we wouldn't want to disturb her she goes to sleep early plus she doesn't believe in the Ferber method even if we say we are doing it, it has to be when she's not around because if we don't pick him up right when he starts crying she will reguatfdless of what she says. She is currently in the process of moving out by oct 1st and my husband and I are moving into an apartment by December and my husband is staring a new job very long hours grunt work. So how the heck are we supposed to let him cry if we can't start till october, then do it for 2 months, then move into an apartment where we would be disturbing the tenants or landlord, and my husband says he wouldn't mind but I know if I was starting this job he is I wouldn't want to hear a baby screaming. My son gets hysterical right away every single time not even a minute goes by. We have tried everything!! To not let him cry but nothing works he cries anyway. He has other sleep problems like he barely naps. I need advice or help.

Sorry to those brave ones who roughed it out and actually read my whole post it went from being a question to being a rant with a bunch of questions and complaints lol.
