Hi my name is Naomi and I'm currently 20 years old.

Me and my mom have a rocky relationship so we werent in contact much after i turned 18. I only let her back in my life this year because she found out she was pregnant.

Around 3 weeks ago almost 4 my mom dropped off my Not yet 2 month old brother And has been no contact since He has severe separation anxiety and he came to me in pretty poor condition His doctor said to let him cry it out for up to 45 minutes in his crib and pick him up every 10 minutes to sooth him but I feel like I'm doing a bad job. I never lay my hands on him but I just feel I'm letting him down as I don't have alot of money as is and lost my job 2 month before his birth because the busses in my area went on strike so I had no way to get to work.

I don't want him to grow up the way I did but I don't want to get dcfs involved because what if I don't get Custody. I was in foster care for around a year when I was younger and the did nothing to help I ended back with my mom at 14 and not a month later she let her then boyfriend kick me out.

I love my mom but she will always choose a man and drugs etc. over her children.
