While I know all the stuff with your X pains your heart, I'm going to pass over it for right now (other than to say, yes, you probably shouldn't be reviewing Match.com with your son).
All of your energies should be focused on task #1. Getting a job. I know that it takes a long time for applications to wind around law enforcement agencies and that best case scenarios, it will be a couple of months before you start work again.
How's it going? Have you applied to all the possibilities - investigated any possibilities to fill in the gaps while you wait?
