I have been a single mom for 10 years. I have four children my oldest is on her own now. I still have three at home two girls 12 and 17. And my son who is 15. They are amazing to me and I have loved every moment of being their mother. My concern is that we are a single income family and I do house cleaning on the side when I can, however I still have much trouble with finances. Also I don't have time to do everything myself all the time. My son has recently told me that he feels he is a burden on me and that maybe things would have been better if they were given up for adoption to someone who could have taken better care of them. This has left me very upset for weeks it seems my son is so angry at me. I also have RA, and that has me waking up in pain every morning, yet I get out of bed because I love my family and will not abandon my children like their father has. I refuse to take addicting Meds. So I don't know what to do. I can't hide the chalenges and sometimes I am grouchy. Well he feels unwanted and I feel like a failure.
