Don't give up. It is hard to work but not impossible. It may take a lot of looking but somewhere out there someone will give you a chance and some understanding. Also remember this part of your life will not last forever. Maybe in a year or 2, your child won't need as much therapy and it will get easier to move out then. I hope you find a good fit soon. I have had some luck with flexible schedules in the restaurant industry, even though it's not my dream job.
