I’m 26 and I’ve lost everything because I trusted my own blood. I feel like a fool

I have to confess that I’m at my lowest point. My parents threw me out when I was 16, and I spent a decade just trying to stay alive. I thought my luck changed when my uncle offered me a job, but it was all a lie. For years, he paid me only $20 a day while I worked like a slave. He manipulated me into signing for loans and putting massive business debts in my name, promising he’d pay them off. He never did. When I finally stood up for myself and asked for the money, he kicked me out. Now I’m 26, homeless again, and buried in debt that isn't even mine. I’m confessing this here because I’m ashamed of how much I let him ruin me just because I wanted to believe I had a family. I’m sitting here with nothing, just waiting for the day to end.
