Please hear my story before you judge. I am married, and my husband and i have been married for 6 years now. We have a 1 year old son, who is a ’special needs’ baby, and is on medicines and many doctors appointments. We live in a very small town, and his closest doctor is a 45 minute drive away. Everything has been fine until about 6 months ago. My husbands work went out of business, and our only car broke down. We were renting to own a house, but the owner of the house passed away unexpecdedly, so we were forced to move out, and now live in an apartment. Yes, our son has WIC, etc, but WIC only covers half of his formula since it is prescribed by his doctor because of his health needs. Also, the state insurance doesnt cover his medicine, which we could afford until all this other stuff happened. We love our son very much. But everything in our life seems to be going wrong and we can barely afford to live. I just want the best for my son, someone who can afford to provide for him.
Liek i said, we really love our son. We put all of our money to him. Sometimes my husband and i dont eat, etc, just so we can affford to buy his medicine. I am doing the best i can as a mother,really. But i cant handle it anymore. We live in a very small town, with little to no job opportunities. My husband has a fake knee-cap from a Navy injury from 8 years ago, and he is having a hard time finding a job. I stay home with our son because we cant afford daycare anymore. I too am adopted. I would ask my parents for help, but i dont have any. My husband has a only a mom, who cant help either. I just need some advice on what to do. We were a perfect little family, and now everything has taken a turn for the worse. I dont care if i get to eat or not, i just want the best for my son.
Some of you are VERY rude and hurtful. I am not trying to ‘give away my son’ just so i can have more money. I am thinking about adoption so that he can have everything he needs and deserves. How does that make me a bad mother, because i care about his needs?
I do not own a computer or cell phone. I dont even have a phone line. I am at the local library, but thanks for assuming, being rude to me, and making me feel worse
