new single parent
I have recently been put into a situation where I am taking care of my two kids, 6 and 10, by myself for the first time, I am becoming overwhelmed and wonder if I am even doing everything right for my kids and for myself.

specifics
I am sorry to hear that is happening to you but you would have to give us some more specifics for some advice on what you are doing right and doing wrong.
Your post reminds me of an episode of this really awesome show called "Louie" it's on FX and it stars Louie CK as a divorced father with two little girls. He is hanging out with the single mother of one of his daughter's friends and he starts talking about how he thinks he is a bad father and doesn't really know what he is doing. In response to this, the woman tells him: "You are a good father. Why? Because you show up. Just being here, in the room with them, makes you father of the year."
I loved that, and i think it probably applies here. If you are trying your hardest, working to keep your kids fed and sheltered, and making an effort spend time with them, you are doing your part. Being a single parent is too big of a challenge to be overly critical of yourself.
