I left home years ago but this fear remains unresolved for me, and it's spilling into every interaction with people that I face! This is really making my life very hard..
When I ask myself 'What do I need to get past this' I hear 'someone to tell me that YES, bad people DO exist, but not everyone is like that'. Could someone confirm this for me? Sometimes, I just need to hear these bits of wisdom from someone other than myself..

Hi. It sounds like you're talking about validation. Have you had any contact with your father or someone that reminded you of him that might have triggered you?
