I'm wondering... are there job possibilities where you could keep your son with you? Like, if you deliver for Favor, could you keep your son with you? I know it's hard to manage keeping him in his car seat while you drive, taking him in to the store with you, etc., but if you knew your job gave you that option, maybe it would reduce your stress?

Also, if you are still with your son's father - could you guys coordinate your schedule so that one of you can stay with your son while the other works? Like, you work your day job while Dad stays home, then Dad works nights?

If you are not with your son's father anymore... any reason not to temporarily move back with family? Even if your relationship with your own mother is tense, she might be a kinder grandmother than she was a mom and it might help you manage your stress better.

Honestly, I am not in your shoes so I don't know if any of these ideas would work for you but I feel for your situation and hope you can find solutions that work.
