Keep trying, maybe you can find some work from home. Here, we have a place we can fill out a form with contact information and if something shows up, then they can call you to let you know.
Also, if you get anything from the church pantry, or get any social service help, do not say anything to your XF. This is some help for you and the kids, and if he knows about it he may feel entitle to give you less money. Keep it quiet and save some money, if you can.
Rain, I am so sorry you need to go through such hard time. You are already hurting for all what XF did and now you also need to face these financial issues.
I will keep praying that soon you will find something that will help you and the kids.
