[quote=Anonymous]You need to go where the jobs are.

Your mom lives closer to a job center, right? Swallow your pride, call your mom, apologize for the way you have acted this past year, and ask if you can live with her until you get back on your feet. Sign up with a temp agency, so that you are working and have something to put on your resume.

You are also very emotional (understandably so) to the point of impulsivity and histrionics, and that might be impacting your professionalism, and your decision-making. Consider getting on some meds to even you out for the time being. A lot of us do a short course of anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medicines to help us get through rough patches. You are going through three rough patches at once: divorce, financial problems, and unemployment. Plus you don’t have a support network.

You need to move forward with your divorce. You are entitled to some of the marital assets, and maybe spousal support, which should serve as a cushion to get you back on your feet.

In short:
1) Call your mom today. Suck it up and apologize.
2) Sell whatever you can to build up some cash.
3) Sign up to temp, or open an in-home daycare, or start a house cleaning business: you need income.
4) Consult with a GP about medication.
5) Find a lawyer and move things along. Call the bar association where your mom lives. My dad is retired and does some family law work pro bono through the county bar association.

Even if mom says no to number 1, go forward with the rest of the list in your current location.[/quote]
