Today at work has been one of those days where I find myself daydreaming of days long passed. I spent a good portion of my younger years waiting tables for a living. There was a time when I lived in southern California doing just that. I remember the friends I made and how we hung out. My life has never been that interesting since but of course if I were to really look at it my lifestyle back then was not very healthy. Yet, it wasn’t all-bad either. I remember a friend, her name was Kristen Fox and she was a good friend to me. Heck I think of her every now and then wondering what became of her. It has been many many years since I have even talked to her and others that were important to me. But now when I look back I miss some of the relationships I had. All are gone because I didn’t take the time to try and keep in touch. It was so much easier to make friends back then. As I push 40 it is so hard to meet people and make new friends. I have thought about waiting tables again...

You may want to adjust your nighttime routine to include a reminder of you or a new "lovie."
My daughter, 2 1/4, was having trouble with leaving me for a church program and it ended up that taking the time to address her fears and give her something of mine (a small purse) with a special doll in it made all the difference. Perhaps you have something that she could hold at night that reminds her of you?
And as far as the manipulation goes, go with your instinct. If this is something out of character, then examine what other things have been going on . . .

Also, I saw in a catolog that you can get "bed lights" to light up under your bed to keep the monsters away. Maybe she'd go for something like that, they come in several different colors.
