It is now my fifth day back in Brooklyn, and all is going well.  Cable  came today to hook up my Internet, and the rest of my things arrived via  UPS.  I will be hitting the job trail full fledged  starting tomorrow.  I have a number of leads so far, and hopefully one  or two of them will come through.  I have an interview tomorrow for one  job that is just weekends.  I would work from three pm Friday to noon on  Sunday.  That job alone constitutes a full-time job and comes with  benefits.  My plan is that I would then get a part time job during the  week.
I have not seen my kids yet.  I tried to call today but got  no answer.  Still Wondering is of the opinion that since I am taking  these few initial days to get myself set up with a job, and other things  I need to settle in that it is proof that I moved here for selfish  reasons, and that I am acting in a self-destructive manner.  What do  people want me to do?  What do they think would be a better route for me  to take?  Is getting a good job and becoming self-dependent a  destructive behavior?
In any event, this is the course I have laid out for myself.  It is the right one, and I will persevere.
