<prompt> Human: Please, serious replies only.Yesterday I learnt from my stepmother that my father has been cheating on her and using all his money to spend on his mistress. I always assumed that his business wasnt doing well and didnt pry any further. Long story short, after my father choked my stepmother and stole the house keys I need to figure out how Im supposed to support five people on my measly paychecks.Im going to sell a ton of my stuff, cancel buying a car, downgrade my phone, etc to try and make this work while my stepmother looks for a job.Currently I work as a waiter at a restaurant and a cashier at McDonalds. Im 21 years old and make about 1,000 to 2,000 a month form my jobs. I have about 1,300 left in the bank and the only debt I have is from a short stint at community college.Please reddit, help me.  <response>: Step 1: Change the locks. Like tonightStep 2: Call the police and press charges for domestic abuse. Like, tonightStep 3: Call your state and local government aid offices and see if you qualify for assistance. Do this right away as applications can take a while to be reviewed and approvedStep 4: Help Stepmom andor siblings get a job depending on age, obv.Step 5: Help stepmom properly file for divorce and get child support. You do not need a lawyer for this although it helps, most states have departments specifically set up to help low income families going through this situation get the spousal support they are entitled. Step 6: After you have helped with all that, focus on yourself. You cannot support a family of 5 on a McDonalds salary. The best thing you can do is make sure you are taken care of, and then, AFTER that, help with what you can.
