KG.....I thought about downsizing to a smaller house but I would have to downgrade neighborhoods as well. Where I live houses are flying off the market and people are not accepting contingency offers so I would have had to move into an apartment first and with my 2 dogs it wasn't really going to work.
My payments are going up $500/mth but if I move some stuff around I should be ok.
I think it is good for my girls as they know the neighbors, they are comfortable as well, etc. When I told my W she was happy I was staying. If it wasn't going to work financially obviously I wouldn't of had a choice.
N.....Yes, I am. It felt good to let it out. Hadn't cried in a while, not ashamed but my youngest really got to me. She is so sweet. Lighthouse is still shining and as I continue to get stronger I feel the mental shift within myself. Now that I feel really good about all aspects of my life, physically, spiritually and mentally it helps reaffirm my value and confidence.
