I think getting into a short term program that will help you get a decent paying job (that you can support yourself on), then continuing the college thing on your own terms, is an excellent idea! In fact, its what I recommended to your#1fan. You are in a situation that isn't beneficial to securing your education. Its up to you to change that.
Keep exploring your options and figure out what it is that you excel at, and then look for that niche. However you can make the most money while working the least amount of time will give you the most time for school. If you do this, you can move out and get away from the negativity you are experiencing at home. You can still be with your family, but on your own terms. That's something I've learned can make a huge difference in a person's emotional well being.
You can do it!
