Financial Abuse And Harassment

They say they can’t afford to pay more than * in rent, so am I acting entitled? For more context I want to add that my parents are not poor and live in an upper middle class neighborhood (nansemond river estates in Suffolk Virginia), I looked up the house it’s it’s currently worth half a million dollars, my dad has two motorcycles, his own truck and a camper, he also bought a boat years ago. They said they’re still paying all these things off but given their other behavior I feel it’s not fair to just believe them off the bat, my dad literally doesn’t care if I’m put on the steeets. My mom also says they can’t just give things back to erase the debt either.

what if they are genuinely unable to afford to help? Is it still financial abuse? I also wanna say my parents aren’t holding my money against my will or anything, the benefits are reduced by the social security system itself, they don’t pay people the max amount if they live with providers. Also if they cut the * dollars I will be spending * of my * once I get the max on rent, they did say they’d help with food and other things to some degree so I’m doubtful this is real abuse.

I also want to add that they do try and intimidate me out of spending my money on hotels when things at home become unbearable, I truly have no choice. When they were telling me I had to go with the mildewy house, I attempted to give them another option but they told me I had to leave by tomorrow. The other option was a house in Newport News (I looked later and it’s a bad area so this is off the table for now) but it requires a background check so I’d only be able to go the next day, since they were threatening my belongings I asked if they could pay for a hotel and they said no so when I asked if I could pay using my own ssi (you need to be * so it has to be under their name but using my money) they started berating me for wasting money I needed to spend on rent, when they were actively threatening to ruin my things if I didn’t leave right then or the day after??

I’m just so confused on if this is financial abuse or not, I just want some way I can get legal protection against what they’re doing to me because I don’t want to be forced in a mildewy house with no money to move out (The house they’re saying I have to move into has mildew everywhere, it’s also * so I’ll have basically no room to save if I want out, likely being forced to endure that room for at least nearly a year or so—-* dollars that I’ll likely end up spending on other needs won’t be enough to save for rent + a deposit elsewhere.)

Does it count as exploiting? The original budget was * but they’ve slashed it and forced me tk rely on my own money because they said I was too disrespectful
