Abusive family, college experience, and next steps?

What was your GPA? What SAT/ACT scores did you get if you took any of those?

A merit scholarship is a surer way to paying college costs than ROTC in your circumstances.

The reason people are advising you not enroll in the Spring is that the best scholarships are for "1st time in college’ students. Enrolling in the Spring could cost you tens of thousands in scholarship money because transfers get lousy aid.

If you can prospect and find a job that pays well ($17-20 an hour?) In another town you’d have enough to pay a roommate+save some toward college costs and it’d be cheaper than dorms. It’d give you time to recover and applybto colleges that offer sufficient scholarships.

Look into Berea: all admitted students pay no tuition (then, once they’ve “made it”, they pay it forward for new students). It’s a really good college and if they admitted you it’d be free.
(The other 2 are a bit sketchy.),
