Okay so I'm not sure the response I'll get for this but I need to pay somewhere. So, I've had bad history with my family and there was a situation in February where I almost lost my child due to my mom's hoarding and my, I don't know, own stupidity or complacity maybe. I left and moved 1500 miles away to move in with a friend who swore she would help me become more independent as a single mom.

It ended badly, to the point her mother was threatening to call the cops on me because my child wouldn't stop crying over having to move out of there. We moved in with a friendly coworker of mine and her kids and husband, the kids who have become absolute terrors to my daughter and even threatening to hurt her and saying mean things to her for no reason.

So, with my mom's health issues coming back up and my sister's lack of interest in anything that isn't herself, I decided to move back in with my mom. Partially to help her, but also because last week my daughter broke down crying and saying she was done with everyone and her life and she can't deal with any of this anymore. She is 6 years old, she shouldn't feel this upset and honestly it's been breaking my heart.

However both the friend who I lived with and my friend back in my hometown think I am an idiot for moving back. I'm honestly struggling with this so badly because I've already lost the job I have had, the friend moved to another state, and I have no help and am living in the middle of nowhere relying on others. Not to mention the coworkers house is infested with bed bugs and she'd rather buy her abusive sons more PlayStation funds then get rid of the bed bugs.

I haven't been able to get any child care because of the virus, can't drive because I can't go to take the driving test and don't have a car, I have no family near by and don't know many people, and haven't even been able to sign my daughter up for school here which starts tomorrow morning/today.

Meanwhile back with my mom I'll have problems sure, but I'll be in a town with transportation and my daughter went to school there last year and is still enrolled. I also have a bunch of family there and several good friends, an intact support system within them.

Am I in the wrong for going back to my mom? Did I mess up by even moving to another state and trusting my friend to help me?

Also to add, my daughter has been having a lot of emotional issues here and has had very little interaction with other kids here. And she went from my family who have always been very supportive of her and involved to this new area where literally no one but me pays her attention. Last week when she told me she was done with everything and everyone, she literally was inconsolably crying for a good hour and a half and wouldn't even let me touch her. And she's been crying so much since we got here and always asks me why I even moved us away from everyone and how much it's been hurting her. And since we've been living with my coworker and her sons my daughter had talked about hurting people and it breaks my heart because these boys are always hurting each other and I know that's where she's getting it from.
