that you are home with your son. I had to leave all the time and he would stay with family members. This is your plus. use it. you have to, have to keep telling him reminding him (at his level of understanding) that once you get settled, you will "try" to make things better. dont "promise" you will, because he will remember and hold you to that. until then, do what you need to do but take a few minutes' break every now and then to spend even five minutes with him. give him a little kiss before you go back to work. this is not asking too much. no job is worth tying up your life with your child. i know you have to get up and walk around and rest your eyes every now and then; walk to your son, look at something pleasing. when you do get these accounts wired, you'll be able to spend a little bit more time with him because you will know how to time yourself. even if dad is around, aint nothing like being around mom. make that time for him. dont worry about those doctors, you're still making time for them.
im a single mom who had to leave the house for work, but i would call him every hour even just to ask what has he done for the past hour. my son is now 16 and i believe he has appreciated me a little bit more knowing i never forgot about him. except, now that i am working at home and he is 16, its a totally different story. lol. good luck, stay strong.
