Find Care & Housing
"Anyone know what I can do?"

I hope you realize by now that it was the wrong move to quit your job and move in with your parents. You need to NOT rely on them for food and shelter. It's a recipe for disaster. That's the first thing.

Second, find a job and move out.

Third, call the local Area Agency for Aging to ask for help for your parents.

If you live in their home they would need to evict you for failure to pay rent. If they call police reporting any false abuse, this could be an issue but YOU will need to call 911 if they get physical with you. I wish you would provide some more info, like what state you're in, how old your parents are and whether they have been diagnosed with dementia (and any other physical/medical/health issues. If you do not have durable PoA for them it will become increasingly difficult to legally care for them. If you need help in caring form the you can contact social services to see if they qualify for any in-home help from the county. Eventually the county will get guardianship of them if you don't have PoA. The county takes over all their care, will move them into a facility and will take over all their assets. With no written contract I don't know if you have any legal recourse to recoup funds. Do you have anything they wrote to you, in a text or email, that references the arrangement? Do you have any siblings or relatives who might have heard this being discussed? If so I'd take any evidence to an attorney. This of course means you will be suing them for the promised compensation and you will need to couch camp at a friend's home until you're reestablished. I wish you success.
