No, it's not true! They would be lost forever without you! I know this for a fact. Especially for your little ones. Leaving them would be horrible for them. Your daughter is 13 and bipolar. I was 13 and (undiagnosed) bipolar when I lost my mom. It is probably the very worst thing that could have happened to me. I lost my advocate. I lost the only person who would even remotely listen and try to understand. I lost my mom and she's never ever coming back and this year is 20 years later and I still cry for her but she never comes. And that whole "She's watching you from heaven" BS is just not good enough.

Your oldest son needs to back off! I'm sorry to say but it isn't your fault because you are in school. It just isn't. If anyone should get a new home, maybe it's him. If he's living for free now he should maybe have to get an appartment and take care of all the bills and figure out how to get enough food for him and his wife, etc. etc. Then he can see that you're trying to do something for your family to make life better.

Please stay safe.
