I am sorry. Blisters are awful. This is weird advice but make sure that you are not bending your toes wrong way because it will damage your tendons in them and will cause you pain when you are older. I literally can't find comfortable shoes and every step is painful

Oh I did not know this, Ive been bending them just so it doesn't hurt as bad LOL

Yes so did I when I was teenager. Only my dad worked and we were big family. It could take months of asking to be taken for new shoes. I was eldest so there wasn't choice wearing handmedowns from my siblings. Could perhaps any of your cousins lend you pair of shoes?

My mom is estranged from her family because she wouldnt give me up or have an operation when she was in high school to get rid of me.

Ah I am sorry, that's difficult then.

My moms favorite song is a county song called "We'll Get By Somehow" By billie ray Cyrus and it's been our anthem lol.
