I can't get a car or move to get work due to my shit credit and if I do get work, all my money will go to my mother. I also cannot be homeless and have a job because you NEED an address to get hired anywhere.
I also have NO capital because after graduating she started charging me $300 in rent a month (I make about $350-400 in a month if im lucky). When I turned 18, part of what she made me do with having her open credit cards in my name was she made me sign a lease agreement, so she can evict me if I don't pay rent.
I have $75 dollars to my name.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? I've already tried reaching out to charities and men's shelters and they say they can't/won't help.
