<prompt> Human: I have two children which i have Thurs Fri Sat Sun since we split 11 months ago No industry standard qualifications in my previous job, just 10 years experience that noone is interested in, after many many knockbacks Ive realised i wont get back into what i have done previously, i have used the last lump sum i have credit card on taking and passing an hgv license, suffered with depression and anxiety for many years, 11 months ago i did not think i would still be here, here i am in the shit asking for advice, the ex left me with the kids in our home of which there would be 80k to split with the ex if i sold the house, i have roughly 30k of debt, my parents have said i could live in their house while i straighten myself out if i sell the house which seems like the sensible option? if i could get past my pride, or should i try to survive in this house keeping my childrens family home? Im 40 the thought of moving back into parents home is not easy moved out at 16 but the thought of debt free is nice, been under immense stress for the last year, what would you do? Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated.Edit: Thanks for all the good advice really appreciate all your responses.Edit no 2: So many great replies, its brilliant to read peoples unbiased unemotional responses and advice as my thought processes have been emotionally loaded these past 11 months, good to read clearer perspectives, very helpful, thanks again.  <response>: Having gone thru a similar scenario almost 30 years ago I can feel your distressed. The step I did that really help the most was finding a great counselor thru Lutheran Family Services. With my job loss, the counseling sessions are income based and it cost me 5 for an hour. I did this for almost 2 years. Side note, I had the resources of IRA and 401K money and decided to go to college at age 38 and spent 6 years getting my undergrad and graduate degree in a field I thought never would happen.
