Of course we also have to ask, why are you fighting over the 6 year old, is one family so bad for him to live at. Is it really worth fighting over that hard. Could not there be some easy solution to theproblem.

And it is really his good everyone is fighting over.
Next time, you know how many people use work as an excuse, and if you cna't afford to pay everything, why did you do it,

I have to wonder what all is driving this,

It sounds like perhaps, a new budget that does not require so much work, some couselng to help get closer back together.

And some serious discussion as to what is best for the 6 year old.

I agree with the Fr. Here. Maybe try some financial counseling so that you do not have to work so hard.

Also, the story about the 6 year old is quite confusing.

If your mother-in-law died several months ago, your wife is still most likely going through a grieving process.

With the death of her mother, and working 2 jobs, "fighting" for the 6 year old, there is no wonder she is overwhelmed. She has not had time to grieve for the loss of her mother.

Maybe some grief counseling is in order. A group of people who have lost loved ones lately, maybe.

I believe your wife needs some time to focus on her and her loss. It does not seem as if she has had much. Yes, staying busy does help, but she also needs some time to mourn, some time to reflect. It seems as though she is not able to get that right now.

My best advice is to be there for her, love her, and just wait. I know it sounds hard, but many people go through this after losing someone they are close to. I have heard it MANY times. Even been through it myself.
