Holy crap. Just found the old thread. Could only get through the first few pages.
We don't typically take well to people mentioning they need money because there is a lot of bad stuff that happened. We have an older poster here who has sent scammers money. We've had others drop dramatic stories on here, ask for money and disappear. We are skeptical of people because of the stuff we've been through, so hopefully you just hit a nerve and people will calm down.
So anyways, of course you need to worry about $. Your job will end once you're DFd. Your home will be no more. And you have sacrificed development of job skills and a career because of wts teachings. So now what?
Personally, I had to save for a while before I could escape. I had to hide money because of financial abuse. I hid income from my job.
Start looking for a job right now. Do the best you can and just don't work for dubs. Establish a credit history if you don't have one, so you can lease an apartment. Then get the cheapest one you can find.
You will need some sort of long term financial plan, so if you can't find a decent job right now, go to your local community college, trade school or Labor Department and ask for guidance. Then start taking whatever courses or trade classes you can take.
Social losses are serious too, so you will need to develop at least a small support network. Think. Who would support you? Neighbors? Worldly coworkers? Join meetup.com and start meeting other people. You can go to the library and do that for free.
Next, make a list of what you want in the long term. What is your personal vision of "a life worth living"? Then start taking baby steps toward being happy, being a good person, and contributing positively to the world around you.
You got this.
