Passed CFII, Then Life Hit, Seeking Advice

I started flight training in February of 2022 at a local flight school in my area. I was laid off from my previous job, but had a decent amount in savings, and got a small but helpful severance package from it. I dedicated myself solely to flight school for 2 years, and in that time I obtained my PPL, IR, CAX, CFI, and CFII. I didn't work during that time because the school was very adamant that you shouldn't try to work and take their program at the same time. And unfortunately while in retrospect I should have tried to avoid it as much as I could, I was talked into funding the training through a student loan, and so I took on significant debt to do this thinking that I would have a decent job and a solid career path waiting for me at the end of my training.

After I passed my CFII I started my multi-engine training. I got about halfway through that in a few weeks, and the school then informed me that they couldn't continue my training as I had run out of funds from my loan, and that I would need to pay for the rest of my training out if pocket. I admittedly struggled a bit with some things back in PPL, which I believe is the main contributor to running out if funds right at the end. I had started applying to flight in my area as soon as I passed my CFII, and all of them, including the one I had been attending all this time, told me they weren't hiring right now. I wasn't incredibly worried initially, but the weeks went on and I still couldn't get a bite, not even an interview anywhere. It wasn't long after that that I ran out of my own money just trying to get by while trying to find a job. I still had no income, and for the first time in my adult life I had nothing left in savings, and a double digit checking account. Soon after this, my car, which I'd had since I started driving, broke down, and I couldn't afford to fix it. I had to sell it and use the money to buy myself a little more time.

Once I couldn't afford to wait any longer, I had to settle for any job I could get. I applied to a few places around town and landed a retail job, which isn't great but it pays me enough to get by for now. About 7 months have passed since I last flew, and I'm barely keeping myself afloat financially. I'm worried that the longer I go without finding something, the more difficult it will be to break into the industry. Unfortunately there's one more layer to this as well. I've also had a lot of family related issues to deal with in terms of my parents' declining health and diminishing ability to be independent. My father has been in and out of the hospital a few times because of this. This has both been a major source of stress in general, but it also means I can't just move away and seek work elsewhere, as it would mean abandoning my parents.

So here I am, a guy who took a chance to fulfill his dream of learning to fly. I did achieve that, but now I'm struggling, and I don't really know where to go from here. I loved every moment of flight school, and I don't regret doing it. But I'm in a tough situation now because of it, and while I'm working hard every day to both keep up with my knowledge so I don't lose it, while trying to dig myself out of this financial hole, my situation has been weighing on me more and more. If anyone has been in a situation like this and has made it back to the skies, I'd love any advice you could offer.
