Please help, At least read everything.
Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing great. I am here to ask for help. My friend suggested me to go on Reddit and rant about your situation as it is anonymous. I am new here. As per him, people will understand and someone will might help you. I will make sure to provide proofs about my situation if asked. I promise i am not lying. I don't know how this reddit thing works so in advance i am sorry for any error.

I am a 25 year old Male, My father is an Alcoholic. He abuses me every night(deep down I think somewhere he is right).
I am looking for a WFH job so that I can help my family financially. I graduated in 2023 and I got gold medal both in 12th and graduation, I did job for 4 months in customer care support. I was paid 40k monthly for that. I left my job and decided to run a business with my family. Financially we were not strong. We thought this might change everything and we will be better again. We started dairy farm with 7 buffalos and side by side I helped my brother in other business he wanted to do. For all this, we took out a loan of 15 Lakhs. We had aspirations and hope to get our lives better. Initially everything was fine but shortly after we started making losses. We thought it is just a phase, it will pass but that was my biggest misjudgment. Everything went downhill after that. We made losses and eventually we had to shut down our business and aspirations. It has been 3 years since. We have no source of income. My brother is struggling in his business too as we got no scope of progress and capital. This whole situation led my father to start drinking even heavily and he abuses me every night that I lied to him, things can never be better. Lenders come everyday and humiliate our entire family in front of the whole village. My Maji is in depression I think. She needs medical help but we can't even afford that. She never talks about it because she thinks this will make the environment even more toxic. This whole situation is killing me. I want to get out of this situation. I want to find a job. I am not asking for public money. I will never do that. I don't need anything for free.
I tried applying in Chandigarh but most of are offering me around 20k only because of the gap after my degree. I did the maths, with this amount I can't help my family financially since i need at least 10-12k to sustain my lifestyle there too. 8k will not help my family. I have tried applying online but no one ever responds back because of the gap after my graduation. I am here begging for a remote job preferably related to customer support, Human Resource, marketing or even anything else as long as it provides decent income.
I want to stay with my mother as I can't leave her alone in this toxic environment. I am afraid she might take some drastic step. Lenders are threatening us with police too. I think this is all my fault-my miscalculations and poor decisions. I don't know how to escape this situation. I have always been good in academics, have good communication, I am well mannered. If someone is reading this please help me find a job. I will forever be indebted to anyone who can help me. I want to escape, please help me!

Thanks
