Plus I'm on a lot of medication that I'm dependent on to be able to function as well as I can and if I run away, I lose access to that.
I've been in therapy for 7 years, and with my current therapist for 6 and a half. He is aware of the situation, but he wasn't aware until last year. I still find it difficult to truly open up about how much it affects me though. He thinks everything is fine now. I'm planning on telling him when I see him next because it's getting to be unbearable but I don't know what to do once I do. Surely he'll help me but if it involves contacting the police or getting me out of the house in the dependent state that I'm in now, I can't do that.

Absolutely tell your therapist. He might be able to help you find a way to become more independent. I don't suggest running away at all.
