Hi Selena,
Look at your family tree two generations up and two generations down. I’m sure there’s a cousin, in-law, or, yes, even your own mother that will take you in. You can even literally show up at your dad’s door. What’s he going to do? Not let you in if only for a glass of water or to use his bathroom? Sleep in your car in his driveway. He will take you in if only so the neighbors don’t gossip about him.
Make a list of twelve friends or old friends of the family. Couch surf there, on a rotating basis, so they will always be glad to have you.
Churches also sometimes have transitional apartments available. Go to a pastor and they can try to help you out.
And count yourself lucky: You have your car! A luxury thousands of people wish they had! Now would the very best time to start living comfortably in your car, late spring. You have several months where you will literally be FINE sleeping there if you had to. Don’t worry about that part. I know it’s scary, but it won’t be intolerable.
Good Luck!
Inky
