I'l be thinking of you today as you meet with the realtors..I agree with Shawna too..you are a HERO for making such a sacrifice for your family. The only other piece of advise I would offer is to not let other family' members/friends etc. opinions have any sway in your decision. I know you're not happy that your brother's not happy, but really is it HIS life this decision will drastically change? NOPE. You and your DH need to stand together as one and make the best decisions for you and YOUR family. In the end it'll all be okay, you sound like you have such a good head on your shoulders and I believe you'll come through fine
