Single mom failing my son

I planned on surprising my son on his 7th birthday with a puppy but considering I purchased him 2 weeks before my sister can no longer keep him at her place. She texted me this morning saying she couldn't take it anymore. I feel like a let down because even when I try it never works out in my favor. I am so sick of being let down and not being able to control the disappointments in my life! My life took a turn when I was told by my fiance that we should take a break which lead into a break up and things have really been rough. Here I am trying to pick up the pieces in my life and I had to withdraw my son from his school because I had very little or close to no support from his father. I can't do it alone...He loves this puppy but unfortunately I am back at my parents house due to the break up and they cannot have puppies due to restrictions on the lease. I thought I had a plan but turns out if I cannot directly help myself then I might as well be prepared to be let down. I keep telling myself that things will get better but as of now I can't see it and I damn sure can't feel it! I have become very depressed and find myself hiding out in the restroom at work to cry. I need help!!!!

it makes you worry because you think your failing you son , been there before keep plugging away when hes older he will understand try having a word with your parents before things spiral and you can always use these forums , things can get better I don't want to give you any of the old clichés but someone will listen , try the doctor if you get worse it might surprise you x
