I am aware it is abuse. Sadly I don’t think he is aware of that. All the other abusive incidents we’ve encountered have never been abusivo according to him. I can go to a family members house. My parents have told me that their house is open anytime for me. But I’m just not sure if I want to involve the family.
Understand that abusers will NEVER admit to abuse. They will outright deny it until the cows come home, so there is NO sense in trying to confront them with the abuse or tell them they are in fact, abusive. It won't change a single thing and it will NOT change their mistreatment of you or their bad behaviors.

I think you should take your family's offer and go stay with them. That's a gift, to be able to rely on family as such. Don't feel guilty...... that's what family is for. To take care of each other, and most especially in times of trouble and need.

That's what I would do. I am very glad that you do see this is abuse.
