1 step forward 1000 steps back - part 4

[mdu]

For the first time in a long time I took a look at my divorce budget. I find it comforting to know I have a plan if worse comes to worst. One of the most intimidating parts of potentially being on my own is dealing with the house alone. It's big and expensive and has a huge property. I'm pretty sure I'd like to stay in it for at least some period of time (1-3 years) to give the kids some stability but it'd be rough financially and I wouldn't be able to afford to outsource much of the maintenance. I really need to get my confidence up about this, I need to just start dealing with things to prove to myself that I can find a way to handle it. Next kid free weekend needs to be a home maintenance weekend for sure! I think this would do a lot to help me tame some of my fears.
