I have 2 kids one's 7 and 16 month old, their father told me after he gets a good job which he did we'd get married and move out. That was 6 months ago, so I decided to move on with my life, I feel like I was given false hopes and dreams.I can't help but feeling like maybe I did something wrong.

I can't really understand what you've written. I'm sorry I can't give you any good advice.
But from what I gathered, you have 2 kids, broke up with their father, and now he promised you to get married? I'm not sure... But anyways, I think you are doing the right thing. It's good you are moving on. It is hard being given false hopes, and it is extremely difficult to be a single parent, but just stick through it for your kids.
(This is what my mother did for my sister and I...my father abused me so my mom got a divorce..and even though it DEFINITELY wasn't easy for her, she still made it. And not to sound overly-confident, but I think I turned out pretty good....thanks to HER. =) don't worry. You can make it! It will not be easy, but do it for your kids. They will thank you in the long run.)
Good luck. You will do just fine. =)
I don't see how you did anything wrong--from what I have read. He wanted to move on, which is not right when he has two kids, but do you have custody of the kids and take care of them?
Have you searched for things such as food assistance and medical assistance for them if needed?
Marriage should be a full commitment by both partners, but when it isn't, you get what happened here. I hope that he realizes one day what has happened.
