Dude, you're only 20. Hang in there. I moved back in with my parents after losing my job in 2009 (at the age of 25). It took me a year of hard work and freelancing to get back on my feet. I moved out and then struggled to keep my head above water for another 8 months doing my own thing... and then I was able to get a job that I wasn't qualified for 2 years earlier. I was on track to be a copywriter for awhile back in 2009, and then things got shaken up. Now I'm a developer and so much happier. Figure out what you're passionate about, and everything else will follow. Even if they aren't always easy, you're fortunate to have a family to turn to. What type of work do you do now/what skills do you have?
