What do I do?

I am a single mom who is in a position to work a full time job at a major food distribution company then bad luck struck as I have no one to help me care for my son (4yrs old). My finances are tight so I can't afford child care, so I've decided to let my son go live with his dad in south carolina so that he won't have to struggle along with me.

I am a full time student and want to continue on with my studies to get out of this trap that life has presented to me. I have a nice apartment and want to give it up at the end of my lease so that I can make this transistion that I must make for my life (put my things in storage, rent a studio apartment, and start all over).

Grant it, there are many single moms who struggle and triumph over lifes matters. Am I doing the right thing by sending my son away so that I can better my life which will benefit us both or am I taking the easy way out?

I'm afraid that his dad won't give him back to me, but what do I do?

A child needs a mother. You may be in the position for a better job, but your first and only job is your son. You had him for a reason, don't make him suffer with out you. You were meant to have him from somewhere high above. You are never given more than you can handle. You need to sit down and figure out how to change things, but letting him leave you is not good for him and you know in your heart you would never be able to fully give 100% at any job knowing he is far away from you. Guilt will kill you.
