Do have a look at Re: 10 year old won't sleep alone and the previous postings. I am sure there are many different contributions to the problems these children have. My son has just managed to get to the stage of me sleeping in his room every other night and me sleeping with my husband alternate nights. This has just about co-incided with my husband saying he is thinking of leaving us. I wonder whether my son has been aware of some sort of family tension for months (although I wasn't). My son now says to me that he doesn't know whether he wants his dad to stay or leave because he will have me more to himself is his dad leaves. This makes me think that my original thought that his behaviour was manipulative in order to get me all to himself may have been correct. Incidentally, my husband says this has nothing to do with his wondering whether to leave us. I think the turning point with my son's sleeping was when I decided that I was the adult in the situation and I had to lay down the rules. It has worked to a certain extent but was not without much upset. Wish your sister and her partner good luck.
