There are several options at this fork. A) go back to work with owning a patent on your resume. Lots of companies would hire you. Use the patent to make money and support yourself and avoid the need to sell at fire sale prices. More success keeping the invention secret is precisely why patents are a good idea. It lets the inventor release the idea and still protect it.
