So it was part of the abusive treatment of the first discussed openly with the second.

Wtf. Wtf wtf wtf.
Also, beyond these... people, I'm very concerned for you. What are you going to do now that you basically have nothing? Do you have Medicaid? If you do, there might be community mental health services that you could turn to. They would also be able to help you get access to community resources for people who need temporary help paying a rent or utility bill and stuff like that. If you don't have any insurance, there are usually other resources available, but it's different depending on your state.
Ok, I just saw you're in California. I don't really understand the whole Medi-cal thing, but from a cursory browse, it looks similar to what I was talking about. In my state, you would qualify for some sort of services based on the fact that you are at risk for homelessness, have involvement with the legal system, and a psychiatric diagnosis. If you don't already have Medi-cal, maybe it would be worth applying. Here's a
link to see if you qualify.
