What happened?

Today, I'd finally found a decent job after months of unemployment, I'd even got my kids into after-school care for my job. They'd told me they could handle my autistic son. I got them back at the end of the day today and they said not to bring them back. What the hell do I do now? FML

Call your local community mental health services. Sometimes they can do miracles.

First, *talk* your employer. It's unclear what type of job you have, some jobs can be very understanding others quite the opposite. But talk to them and tell them that you had child Care taken care of but they suddenly quit on you with no notice. Ask them if they can have any flexibility over the next few days as you figure out what you're going to do. They might even have some ideas to help you. In the meantime, do you have any family that can help? Start looking into other child care options - it must feel a little bit daunting after having already done that with this result, but take a deep breath and try anyway. Good luck!
