Financial Issues With Family

Debt/Loans/Credit

I’ve been trapped in an abusive home for 12 years, used as free labor to take care of 9 dogs. My parents make money off them but I don’t get compensated. Meanwhile, they keep me from driving, block me from outside support, and I lost college and jobs because of the stress.

Now they’ve threatened to lock me out of the house if I attend a concert I bought a ticket for months ago. They won’t help with transportation, but they also won’t let me leave on my own.

I’m starting a new job soon but I’m drowning in credit card debt, can’t qualify for new credit, and don’t have health insurance, and cannot drive.

What resources exist for adult children facing financial + emotional abuse who are trying to escape?
