How empty your house must look; sort of like the marriage that has been emptied by the WAS and his poor choices.
Yes, it is true that apartments don't look or feel like a home but it can turn into one. You can make it comfortable and home; you need to fill it with those new memories of your future with your mom and your sons. Yep, it is yet another round of extra effort but your kids and mom are worth it. We did live in an apartment in another state in 2000 and '01. I felt it was a chance to live more simply...not so much stuff to clutter up the cabinets and closets....But we had small closets there. Also, it was so nice not to have to worry about lawns, weeds, leaves and snow. You will get spoiled very quickly And that is a good thing.
Best Wishes to you,

I am barreling down the divorce trail right behind you. Tomorrow I will be getting an offer on our home and hopefully we will be closing on May 10th.
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. ---Leonardo da Vinci
And that is a good thing.
