So first and only post maybe but I have a job opportunity it's a overnight job from 1130pm to 8am it's only 3 days out the week and I want it but the issues I'm running into

I live with my mother, stepdad and little brother(5) and I'm 21 gonna be 22 in june since 18 I've been working terrible customer service jobs I'm lowkey good at it but I hate customer service jobs after a while before i used to just quit and not have anything planed after and would be depressed and suicidal because I didn't have a cash flow I only had 2 jobs that I truly loved but both were temporary jobs I went back to one till they changed managers the other one I can't go back to but I thought I had a permanent spot but oh well anyway I have this opportunity for a overnight cleaning job that seems better in the way that I don't have to deal with people too much and I'll admit it I'm not the best with cleaning but I could learn at this job but I live with my mom and she has been saying the past month I've been selfish in my decisions like ex I've been hanging out with my friends more I was at their house and I ended up staying til 5am by accident because I fell asleep and she had to look for me and the thing is my stepdad works at 7am my little brother comes into my room til 8am when my mom comes home to get him read for school this job could mess with that and she said if I take the job then I gotta leave because I won't be useful and my stepdad made a comment worrying me about their relationship. there just so much going on but main thing is if you were me would you take this job to maybe try some independence or just keep suffering so everyone else can be happy while you feel broke and depressed on top of being in the USA while it feels like the world is falling apart and some other things I know I spend money alot my room is small but I have alot of stuff in it I wear my special interests on my sleeve and I buy stuff alot it's how I cope because I don't smoke I don't drink often and if I do I only have a drink but after having a talk with my mom and stepdad I feel like a terrible person and maybe I am but I'm just trying to cope

Also I had a car (wasn't drivable bc it's been sitting for years) and I had it sitting for 5 extra years I thought I could handle it I couldn't and had to tell my mom to sell it and she was mad about that which I lowkey fair but I thought I had it handle but I couldn't ion know but basically if I'm the ahole just tell me because I really wanna know because ion know how to feel now also I can live with my friend if I get kicked out but I'm just gonna be sad only because I won't see my little brother everyday and I love that little dude more than life itself so that's thr only thing hurting me about it
