Help!!!!!!!

Published

I'm currently on a 16 week assignment week 6. I have 4 children 2 with me and 2 back at home. It has come to light that my oldest is suicidal and deeply depressed. It's scary to me that he is saying the things he is. I reached out to my recruiter and his answer is talk to the manager and maybe go visit for a week. I'm sorry but my son is talking suicide to me a week isn't going to cut it. Obviously even if it is a cry for help it's a MAJOR one. So I reached out to the manager and she just hasn't responded to me at all. Our paths won't cross until next week and this is urgent in my eyes. My contract has 0 guaranteed hours and I didn't take housing I took the stipend. What can I do since no one is helping me?

You are looking for validation, someone to tell you it is OK to break your contract? Do what you have to do, what help do you really need? Take charge of your own life and do what you think is best.

If you need to leave, you need to leave. What's the alternative? Go home!

I hope you went home by your son. These hospitals and agencies don’t give a crap about any of us. It’s a pay check, that keeps getting more and more difficult to get and be happy with. I hope you went home and your son is okay! Definitely family before the job!

Why are you asking us? Get the stepping. If my husband was sick I would be on the first flight available. Son over your job all day every-day.

I would hope the OP would come back and tell us they went home and their son is safe.
