I’m tired of saying NO to my kid.

Being a single mom trying to meet ends meet is already hard as it is. After my kid was diagnosed with leukemia it became incredibly harder. I had to take payday loans just to bring her to her doctor’s appointment.

What breaks my heart the most is everytime my kid wants something, I just simply cannot afford it. On her recent doctor’s appointment she didn’t cry and even the nurses were impressed. She wanted an ice cream as a reward for being brave and I couldn’t even give it. I’m feeling so hopeless lately but I cannot let it show.
