Oh, dear, I'm so sorry to hear all this happened. It must all have been very scary, especially at the beginning when you didn't realize you were going to be locked up.
Well, living by yourself is scary initially, but when it comes to things like leaving the stove on, etc, I found that when you own your space and no one is intruding, you somehow become more attuned to everything. And taking care of basic stuff like food, cleaning, etc initially seems overwhelming but you learn in a couple of years. It took me a number of years of living on my own to get the basics down. What matters is that you're going to be independent and away from a very bad situation.
