Hi shaynambarclay. Welcome to Psych Central. I am sorry your father is acting so abusive and unsupportive. It sounds like he will not change.

Have you considered asking your therapist for referrals to women's shelters for abused women. You sound like you are not only being mistreated but are being threatened and hurt by his words and actions. I do not know what the solution is but when someone like your father is threatening and terrorizing your family, it may be a warning sign to act.

Again I know action is not easy but maybe your therapist can advise you about what they think your options are. One thing to ask them also if you might qualify for disability. That might give you resources to support yourself financially, but that is not easy to get.

I am sorry you are in such a difficult situation but I caution you about following advice from people who do not know your situation well. I do not know what you should do except talk more to professionals like your therapist to look more carefully how you might proceed to protect yourself from these words and situations you face.
