Honey...unless there is some loophole I am missing... you can still apply for loans and grants thru the federal government. I did school many moons ago (ok, NOT that many, but...) and am in still deferring/forebearing/repaying those. AND, I was able to get another set of loans TWICE, once for more undergrad work and once for grad school. TRY. Or send me your info and I'll do it for you, or with you on the phone if you need. I do this ALL THE TIME. (I teach high school). This is where tough love sets in.
Your family is for crap right now. They can't see past the nose on their face to see what they are doing to you. WALK AWAY. Forget the scene in the driveway, forget all of it. Put in more job apps, even if it is quikie mart or whatever...
All we can do is support you from afar. I'd love to say you can come here and live, but we both know that well, you don't know me from a hole in the ground. BUT, I feel for you. I see kids/people in similar situations daily... and it is my job to help them dig themselves out. Bypass surgery be damned, any person should not have to deal with this alone.
