So my health issues have left me to the point where I am going to have to quit my job. I have very bad back issues due to work related injuries and now I have been told I can't do my job anymore and because I was written up I can't get a job anywhere else in the company where I work. So after my worker's comp two week light duty situation ends next Friday I will have to quit and I am terrified. How will I survive? How will I still support my son? I mean I do have a part time job off to the side and occassionally get child support when my ex feels like paying and while I do have a lump sum saved off in my savings I am still terrified. Any advice?
