I have lived under my abusive parents for 18 years.

the physical abuse lasted for about ten years. i reported my mother for it two years ago, and physical abuse does not occur anymore. however, emotional and verbal abuse still ensue, and it has gotten the better of me. i simply cannot stay home anymore. i have reached out to my best friend and my brother, hoping that they can stop me, because i sure can't. the magnitude of my parents' verbal abuse is something that i don't want to describe again. it is big, huge, incredulous, ridiculous, whatever word fits. right now i am tired, i have a headache from crying all day, and i am unbelievably angry and feeling irrational. please stop me. i have everything to lose if i run away, but i can't stand staying here any longer either. help me.


I am not suicidal. I just want someone to please stop me from running away. I want an answer: I can’t stand staying here, but I lose everything if I run away. What do I do?


Thank you.
