Hey everybody!. So I need some advice on a current situation I'm in :-/. Here's what's going on....

 

So I've been single for going on 2 years now from my ex boyfriend....but I've also been divorced for a while now as well from my marriage. My ex husband had a great job and I was getting a good amount of money for child support/alimony and had a PT job so I was able to do everything that I needed to do to raise my boys. Well right after my recent breakup (2 years ago), my ex husband called me one afternoon and told me that he lost his job.... And me being the not so bright one, didn't prepare for a possibility like that. EVERYTHING of mine went delinquent. I was struggling to pay my gas bill, put food in our stomachs, everything... Well to get to a more positive note, I stepped up and did what I needed to do. I now hold 2 FT jobs and am starting to get back on track with everything. Even starting to pay off my bills!. Only problem is the "awkward situation" that I'm in...

 

So I am open to finding a new relationship. I am actually very much wanting one and actively searching. Problem is....when I went into financial troubles, I had to give up my apartment as well and move into my ex husbands apartment attached to his house because he is letting me live here for free while I get back on my feet. Which as you can probably imagine, is making dating VERY difficult. Most guys don't like to know that we can't hang out at my place because my ex and most of the time, his parents (because they stay with him every so often) are right next door... Unfortunately even though I am working 2 FT jobs and getting everything back on track, I don't have enough left over for an apartment where we live. PLUS with everything of mine going delinquent, my credit is not good at all, so no apartment complex would approve me, and I don't have anybody willing to co-sign for me.... I really do want a relationship, but no guy (rightly so) is comfortable with coming over or whatnot knowing my ex husband is right next door....

 

So anyway, I wanted to come here in hopes that anybody could give me some advice on what to do about this. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Affording it isn't the only problem... My credit is not good so no place will approve me....and I don't have anybody willing to co-sign.
