No advice - just commiseration - am moving Sunday to Illinois, got money worries of my own. The biggest thing that helps is communication, communication, communication. You have the right to be anxious, and I'm so proud of you for turning to us instead of turning to food!
While we can't solve the money troubles, or your worries about your son, we can surely listen--and exercise does help. Keeping yourself healthy so you can take the best possible care of your son does help. Telling your family members that running shoes are only $25 at Wal-mart (so they can take a running leap straight up your butt) may also help, even if you don't say it out loud. Other people judging you is NEVER OK.
Hang in there, girl, keep writing out your troubles. Start a journal if you don't have one already and pour it all out there.
