Sorry to hear the rough situation you're in and I know it's hard to find hope with all the worry.Your H sounds a little irresponsible and in this situation and especially considering the economy his choices should be about doing what he has to do to look after his family.At least your children have one parent who gets that.Some things that I know that may help:-
-I'm from the Maritimes but have lived in Toronto for many years and for a city of this size it is safe,clean and lots of open spaces and great schools and family friendly neighborhoods.
-There is work here so maybe if you go on the servicecanada job site you can get an idea of the types available.Just remember that these only represent a small percentage of the actual total of jobs available.There are many job sites for Toronto and Job Fairs here are a constant.
-My experience with EI is that if you owe them money that they will work out a payment plan and not take your whole entitlement.To tell you the truth it's kind of funny they haven't approach you after filing income tax.
Just familiarize yourself with the areas you need to online including housing,schools,jobs etc so you don't feel completely in the dark.I'm assuming you'll have access to a computer,but if not make sure your resume is up to date and have some hard copies available.I just want to also add its good to see you haven't given up.Just keep that attitude and I'm sure you can turn things around.It's just a pity your H is part of the problem when he could have stepped up and been part of the solution.Your children are lucky to have you and though I know its hard,try to keep a positive attitude going forward.Best wishes and take care.
