He's upset that I put my son to sleep early on his day to visit the baby. I take care of my son, work and now fighting lupus. I need better support.

Dear beautifulbutterfly1,

I am very sorry that you have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. This must be very hard for you not just because of your symptoms, but because you have been described as "lazy" by your son's father. This must be very hurtful to you and worrying because your son is hearing this from his father.

You most certainly do need better support.
