Well, you skimmed over what happened that you didn't want to talk about....doesn't sound like a happy thing.

2nd job? What has the first job been?

Is there something that the two of you could possibly do together/in proximity? Park and Rec, after-school program, places that cater to kids (skating rink?)...
I even have a state senator who delivers the morning newspaper by car...maybe something with early-morning hours while she is asleep/getting ready for school, so you can spend evenings together?
Tax prep from home? Computer repair or website design? (Either at home or take her with you on house calls)...

US Census is starting to hire - they need people to drive around and correct addresses, maps, canvas, etc. Pay is decent, mileage reinbursed.

I'll keep thinking...
