Hey guys, I would love it if anyone has tips for this problem.

I am financially unable to sustain myself and am forced to stay in contact with my emotionally abusive dad. He also abused (and continues to harass) my Mom physically and emotionally. I have two brothers, one of which refuses to speak to him at all. He owes us 60 000 euros in child support, which accumulates because he never pays.

This leaves my Mom alone and upset. So, I'm forced to remain in contact with him and he continues to be psychologically manipulative. This makes it hard to be in therapy because the problem won't go away. The doctors say I have PTSD, but it might be Complex PTSD.

Basically, I am forced to talk to him even though he always says the same thing (that he doesn't have money) and it just feels useless. I also don't like having to go through trauma again and again. I can't leave my Mom alone in the situation because it just makes her unhappy. I'm not sure she understands how hard it is for me to talk to my dad. She knows of him as an ex-husband, but he is different as a dad. He makes me feel like I'm materialistic and neglectful of him.

Any ideas on what to do?
