Obligatory Statement: What Martian Said. He speaks the truth.
That aside, have you thought about internships? It's a good way to get your foot in the door and some real work experience. I know having a family, you need to make money, but it might be worth it to be someone's bitch for 6 months - 1 year to get yourself setup to take a better job.

The IT industry sucks right now, the only jobs out there are for half of what they are worth and they want twice as much experience as is needed for the job. They can do this because everyone and their brother needs a job. I saw guys with 10+ years network admin experience applying to help desk jobs.
Carpet bomb the everliving shit out of your resume. I was getting to the point I was looking at advertisements for companies and emailing the resume to them (if they got money for ads, they might have money for me). I got my job now (as shitty as it is) by dropping my resume off at a mom-and-pop computer repair shop. One of the part-time techs worked at a company that was hiring, two phone calls later and I had a interview.
