>be le smart kid but le lazy meme >had several scholarships

tl;dr life turned upsidedown and GPA tanked and lost scholarships and borderline homeless
do I still have a chance in higher academia or will I be perpetually filtered out due to my GPA getting destroyed?

that's all I want to know honestly

You're not out of it, but fuck man how stunted is your worldview that you would ever think that giving money to your parents like that is okay?

They shot their load and they made you. If they're not having any more kids, they should be putting all free resources into you, not the other way around. It's simple game theory.

OP should have kept the money for them self.
Women will always have free handouts and shelters to stop them from being homeless without having to do shit. Yet a hardworking man that has earned their scholarships is expected to be homeless and fail.
Fuck life.
Anyway as long as OP does really well in GREs they should be able to get into a graduate program and live off being a TA. Theres still hope if you want it.

Well fuck man, I really feel for you. Hope you can pull through on this, just wanted you to remember that there are others out there in way worse conditions than you, e.g. Dr. Ben Carson, that have pulled through and succeeded beyond expectations, the worst thing that can happen is there you throw out your opportunity to all these things that shouldn't have happened to you. Remember to stay positive, I've had really down parts in my life too, I've did badly for my A levels, based on my expectations, I felt as if I'm backed up against the wall with no place to go to, everyday's a drag thinking of what will happen to me in future, but I managed to secure a place at a respectable university and managed to do quite well, make new friends and I would've never expected I could get a place in such a university, have faith in the process, we can never know what will happen, if you don't keep that opportunity open that you will succeed, then the chance is 0, but if you keep that opportunity open, then your chance is there, just like how I applied to schools despite my bad results, and I managed to get a place, thought I'll be outright rejected, I applied and kept that reality open, and you should too. Best of luck anon. Study hard so that you still keep that reality of living your dreams or at least able to take a slightly longer route to living your dreams open. I'm currently aiming to get into med school, sure it might be a longer path but it's still gets you to the same place!

> Having to worry over food and gas while doing a Math degree.

Yeah, no. You're not going to get that degree without some disposable income. Given you're already depressed, no amount of 'trying harder' is going to be effective enough to succeed. I don't know exactly what your current situation is, but you can probably still do it if you do these two things:

1. A Student Loan, so you can delay the money problem until you're done with Uni.

If you somehow cannot acquire this student loan, you are unlikely to succeed. Having a shit part-time job next to your mom's shit job is not going to make much of a difference, no matter how much delusional boostrap picking you do.

They might screw you over with the interest rate, but you're already considering to kill yourself so you might as wel make the gamble.

2. An emotional distance between yourself and the ones that don't contribute anything positive / valuable to your life.

Given the amount of times you mentioned your mom and ex I'm sure they're on your mind alot, and not in a good way. At some point you're going to want to deal with those thoughts, but don't do this while you're studying. If you're still doing your degree, then delay dealing with these issues until a more oppertune time. If you stopped your degree at some point and are currently considering to try for it again, then you may want to try dealing with these issues beforehand. I can't really tell you how to do it, that's up to you. But my advice is to let go of the hate, as it does more harm than good to you, despite if it's justified.

Good luck.

lol dude just work for a year or two, earn some money, get a good GRE score and apply for a masters program like Cambridge.
