You go girl! You did it! In ten-ish years you bought a house with dreams, got out of a bad situation, worked your butt off as a single mom, built a new relationship, created and grew a successful business, and turned those dreams into a reality. What a great way to close that chapter of your life. I’m amazed you had time to do it all. You are a super woman and a fantastic role model. May God’s blessings always shine down on you and yours!

[@teresafaulkner7773]

[@lesliejohnson7247]

You said it better than I did!!

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Wow! I’m 68 now. My ex is 78. The stories I’ll never tell. People don’t realize what courage it takes to run a business. Not only The Business, but Life Happens. Messy, painful life - and you still have to continue making those business decisions (not to mention working your a** off). My divorce was probably as traumatic as yours sounds like. I never knew I’d end up being the one on top. Never in 100 years would I have thought I could be. You’re a rock star, Jocelyn. And my respect has gone up 10 fold for Drew. These weren’t fun times but look at you both now! I look forward to that video - only for it to be the END of that chapter of your life. It’s free advice & God knows we all get what we pay for, but my advice would be to sell it if you can. Enjoy your baby, your fresh start, and your new home. Make that the center of your universe. You don’t need to find out the potential stupidity of *some* renters. Take care, Leslie

[@rikkemeek1506]

Amen to that. Time to leave this in the past

[@stuckinflorida97]

I concur 100%. In my 71 years of watching my parents, siblings and children with rental properties, they're a neverending headache. Let it go, Mama J. 💙

[@deborahmouille1718]

Have to agree with letting it go, Jocelyn! Renting is a real pain in the butt! Of course, if you like all the drama in renter's lives, go for it! I'd just hate to see this place torn up by some disgruntled renter that decided they didn't like you anymore because you wouldn't let them live there for free! Take it from an old lady that has seen this kind of situation! I worked on a house for 3 yrs., tried to get my money back and maybe make a little money! NOT! It was a money pit and finally I had to let it go for way less than I spent on improvements! I cried at the act of sale! I was so heartbroken because I let my heart determine the actual improvements! Instead of taking advice from someone who knew about real estate, I listened to my heart because I really wanted that kitchen! It was beautiful and the cost was way too much even for the neighborhood! Oh, but I got what I wanted! Only to have to sell it 3 months later because of a blindsided breakup! Cut your losses, move forward with your new life! Let the past be past! Apparently, he wasn't worth the trouble he gave you! You have beautiful children, a man now that adores you, a thriving business that needs attention and a new life on the way! Go forth Joselyn with a clean slate, chalk it up for what it's worth and move on! You've done good to this point! Just think of the space you will create to have this behind you, beloved!

I hadn't realized from the thrifting Videos that Jocelyn was single parenting. Good for you, kiddo.

Me, too, Leslie. 68 now. My son is almost 36. I walked out with just the clothes on our back when he was 2. Never looked back. Ex is gone now. My son is my reselling partner.

Don’t rent it! What a nightmare! We rented a beautiful new townhouse we owned. The various renters ruined so many things. And a one couple left and didn’t pay various bills owed (we couldn’t find them so we had to pay). We had a company managing the rental but still it was such a mess and a lot of heartache.

One word of advice if you choose to rent the house: give 24 hour notice 3 times a year to the renter that you will be entering the house to check smoke detector batteries and change heat/air filters. Our apartment complex does that. You can make sure those important tasks are done and you can check the condition of the house. Best wishes!

[@nonyabiznus5416]

Dear Jocelyn….I went through something similar, let my ex and his girlfriend live in the house we jointly owned. Long story short, I had to hire an attorney to take possession and then fix everything that had been neglected (roof leaks destroyed the ceiling). After contracting out all the work I reluctantly put the house in the market because I was building a new house a couple of hours north - rendering me completely unable to maintain it or keep an eye on it. It was a tough decision because although it held some bad memories (including the fresh ones from having to hire an attorney to get it back and then fix it) it was also the home I brought my newborn to after he was born. At the end of the day, it was the best thing to do. I had a new life and a new home and it was best to leave the past in the past. I hope no matter what you decide, it works out best for you and your family. Best of luck!

I truly enjoy watching your videos and seeing all the unusual, beautiful, and fun things you find. ❤ I hope things continue to get better and better for your family!!!

BRAVA!! Turning lemons into lemonade! So proud of you!

[@lynettebraun5507]

You are so honest and I love it when you share your personal stories with us. I know you are very overworked but it would be amazing if you would start a series of videos of just your life at home. They could show you decorating your new home with a sneak peak of your sweet little family mixed in.

You're amazing my dear, best of luck always. Thanks for sharing this adventure, you inspire lots of people. ❤️

You amaze me with your strength and ‘bounce back’!!! You’ve had all this going on and thrifting, building a business, raising kids, growing a relationship, taxes, eBay, and on and on. You must stay in mental motion 24/7 and physical motion 20/7. Prayers for you!! This is a beautiful place.

Dang, you are pretty much super woman! I can’t imagine doing everything you have on your plate right now! The house looks great. I totally understand about the memories with your children. This was their first home and there is just something so special about those first 3 years. I still have very fond memories of our first home. The place I brought my babies home to. We moved when my son was 5 and daughter was 3. I’ll never forget that house. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️

You've come so far since those dark days. To have the support of Andrew and your parents is a blessing. You're such a strong character and you and your beautiful family deserve the best. Good luck and best wishes to you all xxx

It’s a beautiful home. Sometimes you have to release the past though, and embrace the future. I say sell it and move forward. You have a lovely new home, a Fantastic new husband and will have a brand new baby. Don’t live in the past.

[@codyvermillion2381]

Wow what you have done so far is great. With not so good memories of this house, let not go. Start new memories with your new home & family. Nothing but good things can come of it. Make it, “Home Sweet Home”! It will be a good feeling for all of you with the new baby coming soon.

The house looks great. Love the door. I don't think I would want to rent it out, so many bad renters.

I so admire your tough as nails, tough as caulk, tough as screws, tough as super glue personality. I aim to be as melancholy as you! Your strength is to be admired!

[@lindawiggs8578]

You are awesome!!! I admire how much you are willing to share. I love watching your thrifting videos but these are so personal and such a joy to get a glimpse of who you are. You and Andrew deserve every bit of happiness coming your way! Thanks so very much for sharing.

[@lindykirk1807]

No words….you are one strong determined Momma! I don’t know how you get it all done! You go girl!

[@deborahnuttall8147]

Babe! Your ability to compartmentalize is phenomenal 👏 So many balls in the last year & revelations only when you were comfortable doing so. I want to be you when I grow up even if I am old enough to be your mother 😂

[@deborahnuttall8147]

And then I was done in by the montage at the end of happy times 😭

Bless your heart darlin'! 💐 You have been through sooo much! Goes to show once again, you never can tell what someone is going through... just because they wear a smile does not mean their life is peaches and cream, eh? xxx Jocelyn, I admire you so much! You are a testament of determination and willpower! 👏💟🥰
