wat to do in my situation? (long)
You've got more options than you probably think. It's spring, and if you live in an area with any sort of agriculture, farm and landscaping jobs are a possibility. Some farms (and even one landscaping company that I know of) even have bunkhouses for the workers. Picking cukes sucks, but it's good honest work outdoors, and I can think of worse ways to spend a summer.
What about the Peace Corps, or another type of nonprofit that offers travel, education, and job training?
Is there a temp agency near you, even Labor Ready? I know Labor Ready sucks, but if you bust ass at a job, and make yourself stand out, the company might offer you a real position. Even better, a more specialized temp agency might be able to set up you with something.
Finally, the military. At least you don't need a vehicle, lol. It's a serious commitment, but a good way to get to a better place in your life. What about the Coast Guard or merchant marine? You will meet fascinating people at sea, often with a long family maritime history.
If you don't want to make a long commitment, try commercial fishing. Large companies that own fishing boats will often fly the crews out to their offices, for example at a big port like Seattle, and then put you to work on a catcher-processor. It's cold and wet, and smells fishy, but if you have never seen Alaska from the deck of a big trawler... it's hella spectacular. You'll have to pass a pre-employment drug screen for nearly any fishing job, but hey, it's your future and you gotta make some sacrifices.
Good luck! You sound like you just need to take a leap and leave behind the trap that your mom has fallen into.
