My take is that you are not employed, have no transportation and have too much idle time on your hands, right now. Sounds like your mom is what is between you and a homeless shelter. Do I have this right?

Does it make any sense to refocus your time and energy on what you can do to financially sustain yourself and children, going forward? Is your daughter's father alive? Does he pay child support? Can you get a court order for the ABF to pay child support for his child?

Do you have job skills? Are you open to learning new skills? Have you looked into Pell and other grants and online learning?

Once we take responsibility for ourselves, it becomes easier to not settle for someone else's crumbs.
