I moved to a small town. I ended a 10 year relationship with my son’s father and am now in a terrible situation. Moved my son and myself in with family into a small town. I was a stay at home mom before, I haven’t even been able to get a job at McDonalds. There are no temp agencies here which is what I’ve done around holidays and my only experience working. My family has become toxic towards my son and myself after realizing I had little options. I feel stuck here, but I know if I leave and go to a hotel or homeless shelter in a new town I risk loosing custody of my son who is still making all As and still playing baseball and football. I left a physically abusive relationship and brought my son to a home where I forgot about the mental games they played. I almost feel like getting hit was better than my son suffering being made feel like he is a burden. At least he was loved, I wasn’t but he was… I won’t go back it’s been over a year and he has moved onto his next victim and returned to drugs but I feel so lost please does anyone have advice or words of encouragement.. i still have about 3 thousand in savings and that feels like the bottom of the barrel, if I’m going to make a choice to leave it needs to be now. I’m in college for nursing but I already asked and my credits are transferable…
