How to get master's degree without sacrificing too much?

I am a working parent who barely makes it to pay rent and survive. I have a baccalaureate degree but would like to get my masters. I definitely will need a student loan (or if it is at all possible more than one), and in this case i would have to study at least part time. It would be nearly impossible for me to manage taking good care of my child, working, and going to school. If I quit work - my husband wont be able to support us. My friend told me that student loans are big enough to help me to pay rent and study, but it is not what i have been reading about them. I feel like i am walking in circles with my hands tide up and as if life goes by and i am not doing anything to improve it. Any advice? I don't know much about the system because i studied overseas. Thank you.
