Is there any places where moms can get help to better their life away from their current home?

So since I had my son i was a junior, the town I live in is crowded and unbelievably horrible (drugs) and well no job oppertunities. The father of my son is the reason for my wanting to choose another destination, I love the guy but that is my problem I obviously do not have the courage to leave him. So with out a diploma, I can not pay for a babysitter, because of not being able to find a decent job. I am currently doing online school too. I have to leap the step that will lead me in the right path. My son and I live with my mother, but it's like it is too overwelming to live under her roof with my kid. She pays for everything but I want to grow up and show her that I am the responcible person to my son that I can be. My druggie babies daddy is the problem, and I need to get away from this town.Just my son and I...I want to be the loving parent to my son, and I also want to figure out who I really am. because my son DOES NOT diserve the life that my babys dad promised and can never give him. That bum is the love of my life 2nd from my son, but its all games with that man and money is all our conversations are about and once we do get enough to leave this town he blows it.....I cant take it no more. We do not need to stay somewhere where I aint happy it effects me being a better parent
