my 2 year old STILL doesn't sleep

[delds]

My 2 year old has not slept well since she is 4 months old. She is unable to fall asleep by herself, and needs me to lie next to her until she falls asleep. In addition, she wakes up at around 12:00am EVERY night, and only falls back asleep (in my bed) at around 2:00. I know I have made every "newbie" mistake.

Please Help!!!

Yes, so its okay, most new Moms do the same thing, as you tealise you have shown her how to sleep and now you have to change the pattern so she is resistant, You are sending her mixed messages and it would be better to be consistant. make sure she doesnt sleep all day and takes simply and aduquate Nap, When it is bedtime take her in to her room ,and read her some stories,you can leave a hall light or low watt light on if you want to, leave her there .also leave ths door ooen a bit,she will yell you have to be tough if she yells for a while go in and with quiet words sooth her head, then leave, thats it,, she will yell for a few nights but she will get the idea, if you give way you are back to square 1 She has been waking at 12 to see if you are there and then you take her back to your bed...... see the pattern she is getting mixed messages, now a lot of parents simply want peace so its okay, if you want her to sleep with you, a lot of Folks do it is whatever works in a Family
