I am unstable in income, no family, renting a house, single parent and has an 8 year old kid. I am uncertain about the future. Would I give my son to his father because I believe he can give him a better chances in life plus the fact that they are complete, with grannies,uncles,everyone. He miss his father when it takes a month before he fetch him for a weekend stay with them but I asked my kid where he would like to be with, he said, he don't want to choose, he can be with both alternate and sometimes he says he want to stay with me...but the bottomline is, I am uncertain about things, money, health and stuff...no mother would want to see her child suffering...thank u for advice...

Hello lusiaR,
I am not envy you this situation, it must be really hard for you to decide. I understand that you want to give the best to your kid. Money are big problem, but not the biggest. You can give a nice childhood to your kid even when you do not have much. And also imagine that pain, what you may feel when you will be living withou it. It needs some time to realy consider or advantiges and disadvatiges. And your kid not need to suffer, due to less money what you possess. Maybe situation change in next days, you get stable source of income. Try to handle this situation as much as possible, for your kid. It is just my opinion, if your kid really want to stay with you.

I raised my 4 girls alone and they all turned out beautifully. I can't answer for you. What is holding you back from finding a steady job? I would do every thing in my power (and did) to find one that allowed me to give my girls a decent home and food on the table. Why does your son only see his dad once a month? Is that the dad's choice? If so then I would say the boy is better off with you.
