Why the sad face Ursula? You have been blessed with children and your own home.
I would give anything to have what you have.

wikked: That is a quote from "Donna Atkins"...
I have it framed over my bed...
At one time it represented my marriage, home and children...
These days I keep it there to remind me why I am raising two children alone, why I work so hard everyday to line someone else's pocket instead of celebrating that my home would have been paid off for in a couple more years...why I cannot take a vacation...because there is one more thing I need to pay for...

If you are honestly focusing on bad memories of your past and you have to remind yourself of it constantly, do you really believe you can move on and open yourself to a future with a new person?
To constantly focus on the negative experiences you have instead of being thankful for the things you do have sounds like you are harboring bitterness and resentment in some ways.
I'm not trying to be mean and mean no disrespect at all, it's just my opinion you sound like you are carrying around a lot of resentment and anger that you might need to deal with before you're ready to share your life again and open yourself up.
I don't think of what I lost from past relationships, I focus more on what I learned and move on in life, it's too short to waste on resentment about material things I might have had if I had not been in a bad marriage or bad relationship.
I move forward and material stuff can be replaced and I can earn more money for the things I want, I don't blame the ex, I blame myself and learn from it. We've all made mistakes, forgive yourself, learn from it and do what you need to do to not allow it to happen again.
If I'm wrong I truly apologize, but this is what I think of when I read your post and I hope it's not the case.

It works:
rent your house for the time you want to travel.You can even do the world like this. Try, you won't regret.
It hurts me to hear that people are stuck just because they are paying a house. This never ends! Do you exist for commercial reasons?

I agree,one should count their blessings,be thankful for what they do have,instead of dwelling on what they don't.If you have a positive attitude ,good things seem to happen.
If you think negative thoughts,you don't see all the wonderful blessings and things around you.

regrets solve nothing move on bury the past its the only way you can build your future...if you continue dweling on the past it will destroy you and fill you full of hate...To constantly focus on the negative experiences you have instead of being thankful for the things you do have sounds like you are harboring bitterness and resentment in some ways.

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't harbour anger and resentment (not ALL days...)...I invested 15 years into that marriage...
Honestly...should I really feel "grateful" now?
And please, there is no underlying anger here against your comment...genuine interest in your honest reply...

All because two people fell in love!
You experienced love. Some never do. Lucky you!
First, you have children from that love. Some never do. You have 2 pieces of the future. Pieces of humanity to be molded to the best of your abilities. You get to watch them grow and blossom into special people. Lucky you! Cherish that.
Second, you have a piece of a dream: owning your own home. Some never realize that dream. Lucky you!
You have 3 good reasons to be strong; 2 wonderful children and a home. To be the best you can be. To make the life you want. You're very fortunate.
You'll be tired and things won't always go right. But the strength you possess will see you through. And in the end, you will stand tall.
And remember that the ultimate measure of a woman or a man is not where she/he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where she/he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Wise words from Martin Luther King Jr.

I have it framed over my bed...

These days I keep it there to remind me why I am raising two children alone, why I work so hard everyday to line someone else's pocket instead of celebrating that my home would have been paid off for in a couple more years...why I cannot take a vacation...because there is one more thing I need to pay for...
