i am a mother with full custody of my daughter whom i love with all my heart. after much soul searching and thought i feel giving up custody and/or my rights may be inevitable.i cannot take care of her financially and her father and step mom can. i have done my best for 8 years. i have no life other than my child and live each day for her.we have lived with my parents since my husband left when she was 7 months old due to finances. i cannot afford to move out and support my daughter but cannot stay with my parents due to emotional strain on their part.i have explored my options but am really battling with whether or not i am best suited to care for her financially. i could work 3 jobs and never be able to send her to college or provide for her the way a two parent home could. i would do anything for her,but my emotional strain caused by my parents and worry over finances has put me in a hopeless state. i would appreciate any advice or encouragement any of you can give especially if you can relate. my mind is not made up but i just don't know what to do any more.
