My hand break is stuck on, but not 100%, when i pull the hand brake it engages, but even when i DONT have the brake pulled, the (emergency) brakes are still engaged, a little bit. if i had to guess, id say they are engaged about 50 percent at all times. i can still drive it, but i can def. feel the pull of the brakes.
Brake cable problem maybe , jack it up an pull the rear wheeles an brake drums ,if it has drums . Check the cable for corrosion etc.... Adjust if possible . Do you know how to do that ? Could have video on youtube showing how . Where do you live ? The rust belt , does the state where you live use salt on the roads in winter time .

Sounds like the parking brake is hanging up- it's been set and won't release. Pull the handle, can you feel an increasing tension through its travel or does it just move with an even resistance and then stop hard?
If the case is the second, then the parking brake is hung up. If the handle feels like it's working properly then there may be either foreign matter in one or both rear brakes or one or both have parts that have failed- a spring, for instance, on a rear brake shoe. It would just rub going forward but would set hard backing up.
