I will be looking to re-enter the work force after a long break as a stay at home parent.

What types of questions might potential employers ask during interviews about my unemployment?

What types of situations should I be watching out for to avoid as I transition back into employment?

Step up and take charge of the "break question" before they ask it. Know what you want to say about it and press on. If you got some additional training or certification during that time, highlight that. Maybe you did volunteer/unpaid work? Mention that too. Also be prepared for the companies who haven't hired vets and their unfamiliarity with the military...be civilian! No pieces of uniform (ditch those corfams) and make sure both your language and your resume don't have any military acronyms.
