Am I really alone 😔

Long story...

I recently became financially responsible for everything around me (roomie moved out), I'm already a single mom, and my work-life balance never really existed.
With that being said, I had to pick up extra OT at work just to make ends meet. But in turn that translates to my family that I'm money hungry, high maintenance, and don't care about being around my son.
They usually would pick him up after daycare and keep him on my work days being that I work overnight.
After a falling out with my sister, I found my mom (sole caretaker) starting to shift her availability or willingness to watch my son.
Now I'm left isolated from my whole family and left with trying to manage it all by myself!
I never thought being a single mom would be easy, but I definitely didn't think my whole family would turn on me.
Mentally I'm shutting down! I'm tired of crying, tired of talking, tired of stressing about where my next meal will come from. Missing 1 day - 1 week of OT cuts my funds tremendously!
And getting a different job is easier said than done when you have to start at the bottom somewhere new and things are already hard.
I want to be with my baby all the time but to keep this roof over our head and things afloat....I have to work too.
I'm drained! I'm losing my identity!
Maybe my son would be better off with someone else...maybe I'm just not fit to do this alone. Idk!
