PFM,
It's not unusual for panic and fear to set in after making such a major decision.

Am I understanding you correctly--perhaps being in your aunt's home is just that?
Being in someone else's home and not your own?
And now you have brought your children back to a place that does not feel safe?

Please consider contacting the local women's shelter for help and guidance. You would be surprised at the variety of ways they can assist you...
These advocates know the fears and problems you are going through, and will use very available resource they have to help you make a new life for yourself.
