[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having trouble following your situation, OP. It sounded at first like you weren't able to go anywhere, had no other moms around, no childcare. Now it turns out there are kids in your community, you have had access to the car until recently, there's a shuttle to the YMCA, you have a weekly babysitter.....

And you do school, so it sounds like you have some sort of intellectual outlet.

I'm really not sure what your issue is except just regular depression and anxiety. And maybe a lot of worry about your child's IEP? It sounds like you do have access to people and choose not to take advantage of it. Does your husband not give you any breaks at all, even to study for school?[/quote]

OP here. There are kids in my community, but the young ones don't play outside much. The shuttle will pick me up from the y, but I still need to have dh drop us off and haul a car seat around. Sure, I can work out at the YMCA, but I'm not sure how to make friends there. All of the moving around has gotten to me. It's been tough. I think I am still working through all of that. I was happier living in FL. It was more affordable. We moved up here and can't afford help. In FL, I had my toddler in PT daycare. DH makes more money than he did in FL. I explained all of this when he accepted the offer. I explained that we had a great daycare and a good elementary school for our oldest. [/quote]
