I left my toxic relationship to move into a tiny storage unit with my kids, we share a bedroom but couldn’t be happier

A MUM has revealed how she turned a tiny storage unit into a dream home - despite sharing a bedroom with her daughter's.

Taking to social media the mum revealed how she ditched her spacious house for the small space and hasn't looked back.

Mahlon revealed she was in an unhealthy relationship but finally got the courage to break it off and move out.

She revealed she left most of her belongings in the house and went to live with her parents for a year and a half with her children.

The mum added: "In the absence of paying rent, I slowly cobbled together a new life during that time."

"We moved into a 450 square foot unit in a friend’s yard. I chose access to outdoor space and beautiful environment over more physical space."

She revealed that she and her daughters share a bedroom - with a double bed to the right of the room and bunk beds on the left.

But to give them their own space she used the storage space under the stairs to make them a 'secret hideout where they draw and listen to stories.'

"I couldn’t be more grateful for this space, this new decade of my life, a fresh start," she continued.

"Nine years in San Francisco previously taught me I don’t need a lot of space to be happy. True spaciousness is feeling free to express myself, to let go, to live without fear or stress from another.

"I am so so grateful to be here."

"And to anyone in the same situation, thinking of going, GO. Listen to your heart.

"The road is lumpy and hard but the view on the other side is breathtaking."
