Find out as soon as possible what your legal and financial rights are in this country. Your boyfriend sounds unwell. I urge you to tell your father about what is going on and discuss with your father the possibility of you coming back to your parents. You needn't go right this minute, but your father should be prepared, and you should know the travel arrangements you'd need to make, including purchasing airfare or whatever means of travel you would use. Do you have a safe place you can stay if you need to leave your house suddenly? I would identify such a place as soon as possible and gather together the $$ you would need to travel to it and to stay for a few days if necessary. You are going to want to reassure your boyfriend that you take his concerns seriously and try to calm him by saying you need some time to make arrangements to leave. That should buy you some time--but you should follow through on making those arrangements. If you have no guaranteed source of income now is the time to start figuring out a way to get one; unless you already know he legally has to support you, you will want to start supporting yourself. Men (and women) have a way of dragging their feet even when they know they must pay--and you will need living expenses every day no matter where those expenses come from. I hope this helps.
