Severely torn.
Hi all. Im feeling super lost and absolutely terrified out of my mind. Ive been crying all day and cant think straight. So heres the situation, my (ex) fiance has been pulling back for quite some time now and we tried "seperating" and i kinda knew things werent going to work from that poian on so that has landed me to a nightmare situation i dont know how to get out of, im currently working a retail job that doesnt pay a lot but its something and have been searching for a second job but haven't had any luck with any hits but I had my plans laid out this is all temporary till I could go to school for my next career to make actually decent money. Well I was staying with some "friends" temporarily so I wouldn't have to go back to my abusive narcissistic parents house as ive been doing anything I can to stay away. Well problem is I didnt know these "friends" too well but they were literally the only other people I knew other than my ex as me and my other friend had a falling out earlier this year. But long story short, their all drug addicts, and doing drugs im NOT ok with I dont care about weed and stuff like that, they've been stealing my shit, disrespecting me more and more, the situation has just been unraveling but now its gotten to the point where there trying to extort me for money and take everything I make and so now im left with 3 options and neither of them are good and so im coming here asking for support and guidance because im fucking terrified.... so it seems as if my options are:
A: give in to the extort and keep my housing, prey I land a second job and that things dont get worse, knowing they will already feeling very unsafe here
B: be homeless, which i think is dangerous to live in my car with this heat
C: go back to my abusive narc parents house IF they even take me back
Currently trying to sell stuff off to maybe help buy my a little more time but its like no matter what I think im gonna have to sacrifice my mental heath for my safety. Im looking around for resources and it seems like their are none really I dont know im scared to go to a church because they haven't always been friendly towards me and haven't been good people in my experience... please help me yall im utterly terrified my life is in flames
