UGH UGH UGH how awful and stressful and miserable. I am so sorry things are so hard with your mom.
This is probably of limited help, but maybe it will do you some good to remember that everyone's writing is crap when they start. This is not just fannish writing; published authors say this too. And the only way to get better is to keep writing - some people think of it as clearing the crap out of the way, so the good stuff can come out, and other people think of it like building muscles, lifting little things that make you think "Oh, what's the point," but that lead to lifting big things (or running longer distances, or whatever).
Hang in there! And hey, you're seventeen! That means eighteen comes next, and (legal) adulthood! I forget if you've said what your plans are, or if you've made plans, but hopefully those plans unfold or more options open up for you in the not-too-distant future.
