<prompt> Human: I have been extremely reluctant to post or even ask for advice in this precarious situation that I have put myself in. Firstly I take full responsibility for my financial situation, I should have never let myself get into this position, and want advice on how to be smarter with my money. Starting today my father is kicking me out of his house. With nowhere else to turn for advice or support I have decided to turn to a community where I have seen more support and coming together than anywhere else in a long time. A little background about my situation: Over the last year and a half my parents divorced which did not end favorably, my parents had to sell their house to cover an immense amount of debt that they fell into. Along with our house went the mental state of my father, prior to the divorce my motherwho has not talked to me in the last year made a final stint effort to get him into therapy after we both witnessed him attempt to hang himself in our garage one night when I had come home from college,before this my father had always been extremely abusive mentally and physically to my mother this is a very sensitive subject for me that I have shared with only 3 people. After his admittance into treatment he stopped going about 2 weeks later due to non participation and being in complete denial. It was shortly after this that my mother filed for divorce. Over the past year of the divorce I have lived on my own paying bills, going to school and working. A little over 8 months ago I lost my job and had to rely on savings for a period of almost 3 months while I searched for a job. As if things couldnt get much worse I then lost my car in November of 2014. This is where things really got bad, without my car I was having trouble finding a replacement job and having to walk 6 miles both ways to my classes. I applied at all places within walking distance to my house but none of the stores were hiring at the time. I somehow skimped by with help from friends over the last 4 months and side jobs. Our landlord would not renew our lease due to my late payments over the last 4 months, so this has brought me to my fathers house that he is currently staying in. He has told me a plethora of times that he does not want me here. After being locked out numerous times and nights spent on the porch he has finally put all of my things in the yard. I have gotten with a church across the street and am able to stay in their gym for 2 nights. I dont know what to do or who to ask for advice in my situation, so I turn to you, reddit, please help me in someway turn my life around. I have seen some of the brightest minds here and I am asking for your thoughts prayers and advice. The best thing about being at rock bottom is that there is only one way to go and thats up.  <response>: Talk to Student Services office of retention, dean of students, student body president, counseling, psychological services, career placement, etc at your college. Often, there are emergency loans available to students in similar situations. They may have a free or discounted bus pass for you. They can point you to housing and employment resources. They can do magic with your financial aid. If one person or office says they cant help, dont leave without asking who can help you.
