Every dollar I saved was another step closer to my dream \u2014 a real home. A place where I could finally breathe, where my kids could run in a backyard instead of playing in a cramped living room.<\/p>\n

Jack, my husband, was supposed to help. That was our deal. I worked, and he took care of the house. Cooking, cleaning, watching the kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
