like most of the rest of us here, i suggest that you get to work son....work at building your confidence, work at building back the life you thought you had...
there's plenty of options available for you....as far as computers, you can get access to plenty of computer time at libraries and other community centers....don't have Adobe?..suck it up and use sumopaint.com or one of the many apps on aviary.com....they're not Adobe, but shit, if it's not a print job, you can actually do some decent work on those things....build up a bit of a portfolio again, but save that shit son...save it!....also, in 9 years of work, I'm guessing that SOMEWHERE on these internets is atleast a few URLS that bare your work...get em, print em, save them..whatever man...just start assembling a folio..however you need to do it....
start doing that, then build a plan for pounding the pavement and getting a new gig....surely in the past 9 years you've worked with someone that can either A) throw you some freelance work, or B) direct you to someone that can.....let's be honest here...if you've worked for that long, you've assembled an arsenal of skills and talent...that shit doesn't just fly away....it' doesn't disappear ,....it's still in you dude....you are STILL employable....so be positive man....if you still have both hands, and can still operate a mouse or a computer, you're STILL IN THE GAME!...you just took an inning out......that's all....
most cities and town's have some kind of business help centers or something...places where entrepenuers or small businesses can go for advice/assistance etc....a lot of these folks have needs for such things as logos/branding/small ads/business cards/ web sites/ shit like that...make your services available to them...just that alone can help build back your day to day life..having some real work to do, etc....
don't ditch the girlfriend....and don't be a downer either....just imagine how shit things would have been for you without her!...you OWE her son....and owe her big time for picking up your sorry ass and trying to help you...so now you owe it to everyone to live up to all their hardwork, by getting back on the horse and giving it your all....which you can do....no question about it....
show her son how a real man earns his way in life....by not feeling sorry for himself, and by NEVER giving up....also...exercise...go for walks with the family ....fix supper for them....clean the house up...in short, make your self useful and put a smile on their faces....this is no time to mope about....this is time to make things right....
now get going dude....there's plenty of advice and ideas and options in this thread....make a list, plan your attack and show your girlfriend and her son how they did the right thing by believing in you....
