I was just wondering if anyone might have a suggestion on what to do. I'm 35 I have been a single divorced mother for 5 years. I have a 10 year old son who has special needs I have worked in the medical area of the animal/pet care field for 14 years. Last year my sons mental issues got to the point where child care for him is no longer an option. He attends a special school during normal school hours but my job field requires longer hours. I had to leave my job. We have been living off of my boyfriend for the last year. He also has two young boys who both have special needs. He has a good job but his ex wife gets so much child support that we can hardly pay our bills, even though we have his kids at our house all the time. We have asked the courts to ease up the child support and let us have his kids more in exchange but the judge wouldn't even listen to him. He has to work so much to try and support us. I want to go back to work, I love my job and hate being at home but my son has to been the only child in order to be in any kind of childcare as other kids spark his issues. I have no family that is able to help and the few people I have found willing to watch him charge so much I would be spending most or all of my paycheck for the care. Does anyone know anything I can do or have any suggestions? I'm getting really depressed sitting here at home because I need to be able to support myself and my son.
