I don't know what my options are, but I am in urgent need of help taking care of my son, or I have to give him up. In short -- I cannot both work and take care of him. It is no longer possible. I am on the verge of losing my job because he requires so much care when I am on my shift, and it is seriously interfering with my ability to work (i work from home). I have no one in my life to help me take care of him, and I can't afford to pay for a babysitter or daycare.
If this continues, I will have a complete breakdown. I'm already on the verge. I very nearly called 911 earlier today and I didn't even know what I'd say.
I don't think I have any options without money. If I quit my job to take care of him, I will have no income to pay for our rent and food. If I sue to get child support so I could afford a babysitter, that opens up a can of worms with his father, who is abusive towards me, and gives his father legal rights that he currently does not have. Is my only other option here adoption? That seems very drastic.
