The first thing you need to do is learn how to write a question. You are not going to go very far in college/life if you don't know how to punctuate and capitalize. The idea behind Yahoo Answers is that you ask a question and then people respond to it. You didn't ask a question; you just rambled on about your miserable life.

You were taking on too much responsibility at one time, being a full-time student, plus working full time. I guess you lost your job because of over sleeping and being late. You did the right thing by calling the cops on your dad and your mom is probably siding with him because she is scared.
I would go to my adviser and school counselor and tell them my situation. They maybe able to arrange a temporary living arrangements until you get back on your feet. You should only work part-time while going to college. Once you have a secure job, you can check around to see if another student is looking for a roommate to share expenses. Sometimes students post on the bulletin board when another roommate had graduated and they need someone to share those expenses.
You should stay away from your parents home. Keep in touch with at least your mom because deep inside her heart, she will worry about you. Call her when you know that your dad isn't there. Good luck!

First, you need to reduce your school schedule to part-time, then get another job. You didn't say why you lost your other job, so I can't comment on that. Stay away from your parents' home for now, especially since they're both on drugs. Suggest you go to a shelter until you can find work. You might want to speak with an adviser at the college, they may be able to help you find a place to stay, and assist you with finding a job. Best of luck!

Sounds like your dad has some serious problems, can you get some help with the state or something, maybe go talk to someone at the school that could help you. I wouldnt even worry about my parents if they are mean like that stay away from them maybe they will realize how bad they were, until then stay away. Talk to a school staff or social services office or something. But sounds like you are going to have to get a part time job , whatever you do dont quit school and ruin your future like your parents have done you past. You deserve better than that. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Maybe even take out a school loan so you can live.

I don't see a question here?
However, if your parents both do drugs I cannot see why you wish to remain in contact with either of them. Brutal perhaps, but possibly right.
Of course your junkie Old Man is angry with you, and I suspect your Mother is siding with him.
Keep away for your own good, but always leave a door open and a clue to where either of them can contact you - even if via a mutual acquaintance, just in case they dry out.
And good luck.
