Some People Aren't

I'm afraid I lost my apartment. I wasn't able to make it to the bank on time all last month to pay my rent, even though I had money to pay it, and every single day, my focus was on making it to the bank. I've been alone with my son, but he's almost 3, and the bank isn't far - the bus stop is right in front of where I'm staying, and the stop by the bank is only a few blocks away. I did make it to the bank last Saturday to pay my rent for last month, and that night, went to my apartment, but the lock has been changed. So I haven't paid for this month yet, even though I have the money. I think there's a voicemail from my landlord on my phone, but I can't bring myself to even look at my phone app since I noticed it. I'm not positive it's from my landlord, but have a suspicion that it is. I'm not able to maintain my motivation to finish anything. My car needs a little maintenance work 6 months ago, but I haven't been able to follow through with plans I start to get it done, and it shouldnt be driven anymore until the work is done. Further, a window was broken out of it, and i can't begin to tackle the task of getting that fixed - I dont have the confidence to spend $100 on a new window. So my car is in undriveable shape with a dead battery, I haven't been able to drive it for months.
Presently:
*Not sure if I lost my place & everything in it due to inability to get to the bank with my 2.5 year old son before 5pm
If it's still available for me, I need (and am able to) to pay this month's rent as I have only rent paid through last month.
*Vehicle in undriveable condition because I've been unable to follow through with arrangements to get it fixed.
*Unsure the last time I took a shower. It may have been a month ago.
*Seemingly trapped in a very negative, abusive situation with my son's father, an empathy-absent human
Any hope and all motivation I had to move forward in my life was lost in February, and I've been stuck in a weird numb, dumb, empty state since then. In February, I once again woke up to my son's father molesting me while I slept.
Then my car was broken into 2 consecutive nights. Second night, window broken out.
Next night, son's father snapped. Have recording over 45 minutes long of him ranting at me, I didn't say a word the entire time. I hadn't done anything to harm him or his life. He took all of my belongings including bedding, shoes, toiletries, jackets, all of my inventory, and the things I had given my son and made them unrecoverable to me. He says it was 2 truckloads of things. My inventory was how I made money. I was successfully reselling things online and had won a few storage auctions with a huge potential for profit. He took around $500 of items I'd already sold that were waiting shipment, so that loss damaged my sales record as the sales had to be cancelled by me.
I wasn't left with a jacket or a pair of shoes, only the clothes and shoes I was wearing. I was wearing shorts and a tank top. He hasn't offered to help me get new things or pay me for the loss he caused, he hasn't even apologized - he's actually tried to defend himself by telling me it's my fault he took everything I had because I should have stopped him from doing it and/or followed him to see where he went with my things and then somehow taken them all back into my possession.
