Good for you realizing the situation you were in and making a change. Not an easy road and a smaller uglier house is nothing to be ashamed of. My current house was my starter house 15 years ago but much different but we have made it a home. It's small but it works. Chin up and your doing right by your kids. You'll find someone who appreciates you and your kids. I remarried and have the best mom/wife I could ever ask for and she was right under my nose(I knew her for many years as my sisters friend) but married high school sweetheart who bailed after 1.5 years.
