I am a 42-year old male and I'm living with my mother. Several years ago, I moved to the US from Canada to attend law school and worked at two law firms after graduating. I was engaged to marry another lawyer and my mother took it upon herself to break up that engagement. Having moved to my fiance's state, I did not pass the bar exam because of the emotional impact of the break up and the law firm let me go. I exhausted my funds and ultimately had to return to Canada since I did not have a work visa to stay in the US.
Intending for my time in Canada to be short, I foolishly moved in with my mother. She immediately engaged in a pattern of emotional abuse that made it impossible for me to maintain a normal frame of mind, find a job, and move out. To be frank, although she claims to be a Christian, she engages in a kind of demonic behaviour that can only be attributed to Satan. I am embarrassed to say but several years have passed and I have not worked and her behaviour has continued. Our extended family know her far better than me since they all lived in Canada while I was in the US and the only other potential contacts I have are high school acquaintances. She obstructs everything from the largest things to the smallest. Cooking can't be done because she taints the food. She breaks the laundry machine. She doesn't shower or wash her hair to create a foul environment. She's violent with doors, cupboards, and anything in sight and particularly when I am near her.
Consequently, rarely have I eaten a solid meal, worn clean laundry, or had a good nights sleep. Obviously I have been looking for work this entire time but she makes it virtually impossible for me to make a positive impression on others and does so intentionally. Presently I am developing some day trading strategies to try and generate income to move out. Frankly, trying to hold a job while living here would be impossible. Her aim has been to isolate me and she has been successful in that. I can't really call a partner at a law firm in the US and even begin to explain the situation when I can't even think straight not to mention the embarrassment.
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
