I am sorry that you are going through this. May I recommend a book? "How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else" by Michael Gates Gill. It isn't going to solve your problems, but it may give your mind a rest for a few minutes per day. The author unexpectedly lost his job as a CEO-type, and after a string of bad luck became divorced, and then diagnosed with a brain tumor. The only job he could find was as at Starbucks coffee shop...but that led to other great things. The amount of stress you are experiencing must be suffocating, and I imagine that it is impossible to be positive. People read "sex offender" and automatically close their minds. This is not fair, but thats how it is. I had something similar happen, and although I did not have the financial burden that you have, I quickly became depressed more and more as doors were slammed in my face. Long story short (because I could talk about this forever)...eventually I began sending out/dropping off resumes for jobs that included a cover letter that began with something like "I made a mistake and need a second chance..." or "I am a sex offender, but..." When I was called for an interview the very first thing I did was speak about my criminal conviction and my name on the sex offender registry. In my mind no one was going to hire me. So I had nothing to lose by taking charge and telling the truth. I did this in multiple interviews, and it was almost therapeutic. I was eventually hired by a small company (I do sysadmin work) because the owner read one of my cover letters, and wanted to give me a chance (he had been accused and acquitted of rape and murder decades ago). One more thing. Goodwill Industries is known to hire sex offenders. I do not know their organization structure, but it might be a place to start. Working feels way better than not working. I know that you do not know me, but you will get through this. You just need the right person to hear your story or see your resume. From where you are sitting right now it is difficult to see one year from now...or five years from now. Good luck to you.
