I am sorry to hear what horrible events have happened in your young life. Have you considered a shelter that offers transitional housing? Depending on what felony you had been charged with, not sure if you were able to prove it was not you. I know some shelters are mainly worried about violent crimes robbed offenders. Due to many of them house families, if it's drug related as long as you are sober and can pass a drug test, you can still be able to get in. I have been in that place in my life once before this is how I know this but am not sure if all places are the same, some states maybe stricter. Also churches can help if able or certain organizations can help as well at the least a place to sleep for a night . Also if you can maybe seeking a support group can help with your other issues, such as not being able to talk to people, which I think is understandable when it seems no one sees that you are suffering inside and just thought of a lazy person. Obviously you know this is not the life you want and want to change and have a good life and your own family. There is a sub I remember that is I think /r/homeless which might also have better help or advice that I have given you. You seem to be in the right mind set in knowing you can do better which is a great step to get where you want to be. I wish nothing but the best for you and hope you are able to get out of this rutt you have been in. If I can think of anything better I will definitely be in touch and if you just need someone to vent or talk to I would be glad to. I have not gone through as much as you but had hit rock bottom and finally found a shelter that helped with jobs, housing and other needs. I learned a lot from them and will never forget that time in my life. This was a while back and my life is normal, which to me is having a job to keep all the necessities, granted I do still struggle but because of what I went through its a great reminder that I am not in that position anymore and the problems I have are what I wanted when living in the shelter. I wanted to have a normal life, pay bills,work,and have a place of my own and not being in a shelter constantly worrying how much longer will they let me stay regardless of doing everything expected of me while under their roof. I sincerely hope things get better for you , you are too young to have all this weight on your shoulders alone. Just know it's not an easy fix unfortunately but there is hope , do not give up.
