Hello. I have two children too , 13& 16, have raised them since 2012 when mother left. I think that having raised them for so long, that you can Not be a failure. You are a hero. Try to enjoy nature a little , this tends to help with the depression. In your situation of temp accommodation I am sure you are anxious. It is horrible to experience such insecurity. Life takes a lot to sort out I know, and it is possible to succeed because looking back, you have succeeded! Why the home schooling I wonder? I considered it myself because of the discrimination I had to put up with. However, they bene fitted from a reasonable Juniors and secondary in the end. Social interaction for them can be achieved through clubs like Guides/scouts and sometimes the library is a good place to start. Anyway, enough of my ramble. I wish you all the best. Remember you are a hero!
