V - love and peace to you and your babies...so glad to hear that your son will move in with you - good for both of you. I was out of work too for a while with a big gap but when you explain to employers why - they totally understand and you have great tech skills so play those up for sure. (I used to be a recruiter). The only thing that would hurt would be that you wouldn't make as much $$ as if you didn't have that gap but not always...depends on the employer. Sell yourself - be confident - that's what it takes - not how long you have been out of a job. You have the personality and drive - you will find something.
