If so I would move to where the economy is better, and find a job there - any job - so that you can get back on your feet.

Nows the time to make the big push.
Heck, if I were in your position, I would take a job right away to start building up some monies towards getting a place and getting
my visits back with the kid.
It's too bad it didn't work out with the folks. One's foks are hard to live with when one's a teenager, never mind a full grown adult!
My mother is behaving badly these days and it is frustrating dealing with a 73 year old woman who acts like a 6 years old spoiled brat.
anyway, I digress.
Here's my advice, I've used it myself.
1) don't wallow in the mire
2) run to opportunity, don't wait for it
3) make the necessary sacrifice to get to the goal quickly
Again, good luck man.
