I cannot say what to do in your real life. I am a nomad, so I would just leave and go to greener pastures. But this may not be possible. I do not know the situation well enough to advise you.
But as to steemit, I write minnow tips each Monday. Here is an old post - don't vote for it - but some of the ideas might help you do better here. Praying for your safety, peace and prosperity.
