I think if moving home is an option, do it. Personally, my mom told me I could never move home - we don't get along well in that atmosphere. But my dad offered to let me live with him after I got divorced & I wish I had taken him up on it. I didn't because my job was an hour away from them & it was just too hard with the many after work activities I was involved in, but i really wish i had sucked it up. Even for a few (6 months) or so - you could get your head on straight, concentrate on school, and not have to stress about the money issues as much.
Good luck, I know this is such a hard time for you. I hate to say things like this because I don't want to sound preachy or pollyanna, but I always remember that God doesn't give you more than you can handle.

i know part of what's holding you back from moving home is the fact that school will be starting soon, but it doesn't seem like you're in the right mind-set to start school yet. it seems like you have so much on your plate right now, and this will just be one more thing to add. i know you feel like it's taking a step forward, but i think you need a breather before you start taking action. for what it's worth, i think you should move back home and regain control of your finances and more importantly your sanity. i agree with dc when she says that it would help you to stop reacting to life, and instead let you act.

I gotta agree with dc on this one completely. I, at only 19 years have caught my self thinking 'whoa, back up, there is plenty of time!'
Someone mentioned that taking on a class may be too much at this point too and I would have to agree. I think it might be best if you can regroup and rethink some things though.
The best advice yet, I think would be to listen to your heart.
I totally agree with the others. You need a break from your life, go back home and regroup. It seems like you have too much going on in your life, and this would be a much needed break where you could sit back for a few and reorganize your life, your goals, relationships and so on. I think it really would be best for you. Good luck with any decision you make - we're here for you! XOXOX
