Psychological Guidance for Family Distress?

I've had a miserable childhood so far. My mother raised two sons with a drug-abusing boyfriend who has been to jail countless times, rehab didn't help him. She could never get a high paying job, she struggled paying bills and being a single parent. She could never get ahead. Her father died four years before her first born. Her mother was the daughter of a wealthy family, a family that her mother thought would support her as she grew older. Her family unfortunately died weeks apart from eachother, each dying off one by one, until it was just her and her brother. Her mother favored her brother, and her brother received the fortune in the will and everything in the family name. My grandmother was left alone with no money, a family friend took her in to live with her. While my mom stayed at the house and lived on her own, eventually finding a boyfriend who she had two boys with. Fourteen years of conflict and police interference, my father eventually got in touch with his family in Texas, who took him in, so he left California to escape the temptations of drugs, for we live in a busy city. He eventually married a woman and took in three step children three years after leaving. My mother and brother live a horrible life, we have no money. My Grandmother does not cooperate, she is verbally abused by the man who took her in, he attempts to alienate her from her family. He claims we are nothing but drama, but she can not leave him because she is in his will and we could never thrive if she was on her own. We have no money for rent, my mom had to date a guy who helps pay half the rent. My Grandmother is retired obviously, she receives social securities checks once a month, for a grand. More than half that grand goes to the man she lives with because he paid off my mother's credit card debt, which was sixteen thousand dollars. My mom will never bring home enough money to ensure us a happy life, her boyfriend has anger problems and is not looking to better our existing family. My grandmother is unhappy, is abused verbally, sad, has no place to go other than living with the man, who is my Godfather by the way. He is tired of having to deal with our problems, he is tired of having to pay for our troubles, he has to loan his car to us because my mother has to loan HER car to her boyfriend because his car broke down, and they both need to drive to work. What's there to do? And don't say talk things out, my Grandmother is stubborn and my Godfather never had kids, his wife died, his stepchildren resented him, he's grumpy, and we're screwed, we always knew we were.
