Woody,
First of all, my commiserations at finding yourself in this situation. A general rule for any expat that I find helpful is to always have enough cash in the bank to live for 6-12 months and always have somewhere to run to if necessary. Not easy if you are a relatively new expat I know.
If you return to EU there may be tax implications so if you can search for another job from your current expat location that would help. If finances don't allow that then, fair enough, you have no choice.
One of the harsh realities of expat pilot employment is that it is a lot easier to get a job if you already have one, so the only practical advice I can offer is not to be proud and accept anything that keeps you flying, pays the bills and doesn't commit you to an extortionate bond.
Good luck. I have been where you are now and it isn't nice.
