Scared to go back to work

Erin

My little guy and I have had a wonderful 5 months together. But financially, it’s time for me to start working again. But he is extremely attached to me and I’m afraid this separation will mess him up. As it stands, he only wants me and will cry for hours even with his dad! I don’t even have a minute to myself. He also refuses bottles. The caregiver is going to be my mother in law and I’m afraid the constant crying is going to be a nightmare for both of them! What should I do? Get into debt and stay until he’s out of this phase? Go and hope for the best? I feel so guilty with either choice 😪
