Full transparency

Recently, (and i mean, really recently) I've been struck with a really awkward ultimatum from my parents where I'll need to acquire a certain amount of money in a few days or I'll get kicked out. I don't want to get too in-depth about my relationship with my family, but in short i still live with my parents, although I'm pretty much paying them every month to stay with a roof under my head. The situation at home has been tense for months, so it's difficult to work on commissions, or any art for that matter. In such a situation, I probably (definitely) shouldn't have taken as many commissions as I did, but I had to take as much as I could, I wasn't really thinking about whether or not I'd be able to finish them in any timely manner. I realize that's incredibly unproffessional and I'm sorry. I've slowly been making progress on them, but there's still much work to be done, and I'm really sorry for the amount of time it's taking me. Unfortunately however, with the threat of losing a home right before christmas, I kind of need to prioritize making money in any way i can. As such, I'll be opening a new ych really soon. The last one I have opened was 2 months ago, but I am fortunately almost done with it, and should be able to release it tommorow, so that's at least something for good news. Since YCH's are generally more profitable for less time required to finish one than commissions, I'll most likely be focusing on making more of them in the near future, but I promise to keep working on my current batch of commissions. I'll be doing everything I can to progress with them as much as I'll be able to in the coming days.
For anyone that would be generous enough to give me any support without wanting to bid on the YCH, I have a few ways you could donate. I normally wouldn't be really promoting these outside of descriptions, but I'm really desperate, and would appreciate any help I can get.

If you care to hear any advice? After the holidays, find a way to move out sooner rather than later. For your own sake. You don't deserve that. No one deserves that. Even if it means getting a shitty min. wage job to keep up with bills. And if you need help getting a leg up while you find a job, try to apply for financial aid in your area. It's genuinely better than living under someone's judgmental, manipulative thumb for years on end.
And if i've assumed too much about your situation w/o knowing, I apologize. I just get so angry thinking about someone doing this to someone else on the fucking holidays, especially their own family, over something as fickle as rent. The idea just makes my blood boil.
