Oh, there you are! I've checked your profile and the one of the tiny house so many times to see if there were any updates! Glad you're all in good health, but it sucks to read what you've been dealing with the past 6 months as a family. Never would I've guessed that you would be dealing with CPS behind the scenes, because as you were saying, you're quite the confident guy there!
And depression does that to people, I know, it sucks a lot and can consume you all the way. Been there several times, and now during the winter months I must guard myself to not get sucked into it again. Being aware of it is the start here..
It seems that you have a solid plan, and although you're now separated from your beloved family, you are trying to get make sure you'll be back on your feet. It really is a shame that you will probably have to sell that wonderful tiny house, but you know how it goes in life.. maybe this needed to turn out this way at this moment, and you'll get something even better in return soon. I know it sounds so cliche (sorry, I really don't want to be annoying, just trying to cheer you up a bit) but often it's how it works.
Will you be able to get that UK drivers licence soon enough to start working?
Take care, and please keep us updated, you were missed and we are here for you!
