Thank you so much everyone.

And Zero:

No, I was not in a lease. And my mother is saying that what my ex-roomies are now saying is that *I* attacked the woman, and she hit back in self-defense.

On a side note about my mother:

I am very happy for what she did for me...she told my step-dad either I get to live with them for a little while, just so I can get my own place and get on my feet, or my mom files for divorce. She told him me having a home was more important than being married to him.

She's never done this before, so I'm so happy. With this new light, and y'alls support, I really believe I'll get out of this mess.

again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
