Hi Brad! I wondered where you had been, and then remembered you were planning a trip to the USA. Glad you had a good time.
So much happening in your life, all at the same time! Hoo boy! i guess you need to take one day at a time. Maybe, make several plans, and see how far it goes, i.e.:
Plan A (best scenario for you) - find job, keep apartment, get 50/50 child custody Plan B (next best) - find job, find new apartment, keep as much contact with children as possible Plan C - if can't find job in this city, find one in another, make sure to see children as much as possible
And so forth! These are just examples, of course, and you will need to prioritize your needs and wants, and find the best balance that suits you and the children. I wouldn't worry too much about pleasing your W, since she is already taking care of that. I do think your top priority right now is finding a good job, and seeking legal counsel.
Take care.
