I am a single mom who is in a position to work a full time job at a major food distribution company then bad luck struck as I have no one to help me care for my son (4yrs old). My finances are tight so I can't afford child care, so I've decided to let my son go live with his dad in south carolina so that he won't have to struggle along with me.
I am a full time student and want to continue on with my studies to get out of this trap that life has presented to me. I have a nice apartment and want to give it up at the end of my lease so that I can make this transistion that I must make for my life (put my things in storage, rent a studio apartment, and start all over).
Grant it, there are many single moms who struggle and triumph over lifes matters. Am I doing the right thing by sending my son away so that I can better my life which will benefit us both or am I taking the easy way out?
I'm afraid that his dad won't give him back to me, but what do I do?

Well you are taking the easy way out and he may not let u have your son back because when times are tough you didn't want your son no matter how hard it may be for me I will never give up my daughter

"Am I doing the right thing by sending my son away so that I can better my life..."
I think you are doing the right thing. Your first priority seems to be your studies. You need to make a decision and it doesn't sound like you would have much time for your son, anyway, if you are going to school full time and working full time to pay for it.
Neither of these options are the "easy way out". Your son needs someone who can take care of him--if you aren't that person you need to find someone who can be.

Ask if a friend could do it for you, or a relative to help you out for this brief period. You r going through a crisis right now, and the worse thing to do is to burden urself with the idea of ur child being taken away from you.
Hang in there.....its gonna be fine. Good Luck.

Ya, u r doing the right thing. When u will be in good financial postion, u can call back ur son. Discuss this matter with ur husband. He may be in position to understand ur financial problem.
