Default I could really use some advice.

Alright, here is the deal.


I'm currently living at home with a horrendously toxic father who makes the whole household miserable. I'm stuck cleaning up after and cooking for a household of 6. I am unemployed, and I don't have a driver's license. It's been this way for the past 6 years. Any time I ask for help, or to be taken out to practice, nothing ever really comes of it. Only in the past year and a half have I seen any amount of improvement to the situation (I now have a restricted license to learn with, actual practice).

And now for about the only good news. My aunt and uncle have offered me aid and a spare room of theirs in Florida. They want to get me out of this situation and start working towards my independence. And my dog is welcome .

I just don't know whether to go or not. Their financial situation isn't terribly good. I don't want to burden them, but they want to get me my first vehicle, pay for my plane ticket, etc.



I've worked for my father in the past, caring for/breeding dogs and selling them online/locally. He never gave me any kind of pay that I deserved ($200 for me when he would easily get $10,000 a litter), he had me stick with him because he said he was starting a business afterwards and needed me. I didn't do enough to get out of the house, I dropped out of high school, I technically have no work experience, etc. I also have no money...

I don't mind work. I know it'll be tough, and I'll have to give up pretty much everything I have. Something needs to change... I think this is it.

I could sell my collectibles and try selling anything else I have (bass guitar/amp) to at least ease the transition, or to make it easier on my aunt and uncle. I'm just scared of the uncertainty of it all. I know it would be for the best...

Any help?
