Don't waste your tears on them anymore. They aren't worth it. Do you see them crying over you? Nope. Take what you can and just leave them without saying anything. You won't regret and you would be much better off. I did it and now I have lunches and breakfasts. I'm not starving every day in school or being a grouch all the time.

First off, get some food in your system, even if it means "stealing" it from your family. Second, apply for food stamps online. Third, find a job that's close to home. Fourth, find a cheap studio apartment after you've saved $700 for an emergency fund. And last, enjoy your freedom =)

You could also see about finding roommates. It's always nice to have backup with rent and bills.
