I understand your financial difficulties Nicole, cant be easy with childcare and medical expenses. What your friend suggested makes sense, have him either continue contributing or take care of your child while you are at work. If he does not find a job in a few months I would do that. He can stay with his family and you can drop off your D or he could baby sit while you are away but make him useful in someway. Dont think of filing for D now, limbo [censored] but this is not a good time. Let things play out, I strongly believe in some way we are all fulfilling our destinies, our WAHs included. At least we are on the right side standing up for MR, not the dark side of the WAS.- Arshi
