Living in a abusive and toxic household

Living in a abusive and toxic household

Hy there, I'm 27 and I'm new to this whole thing but thought I'd try my luck and here we are, so I just wanna know anyone out there that deals with mental abuse and has for a while as I do, I currently live in a abusive household with my father and it's like I'm damned if I do or damned If I don't, he sees in his head what he pushes and wants for me, but yet I have my shit down pat...he can be good and then BOOM, a bad day can set him off on me, I can't deal with the hot and cold, it's starting to take a toll on me mentally over this past year, I just need to get out of this environment so I can move foward with my progress and the positive stuff I'm trying to work on for myself 😔😔😔

Re: Living in a abusive and toxic household

What's the best way to let my relative I live with know that I'm taking the right steps and actions to better myself and my life ...he claims we have no trust due to prior occurances that have happened throughout years in the past.. I truly am trying though but living with this guy is so hard, so hot and cold Like a broken water tap, turn it to hit it goes cold and vice versa... Should I move out and get a share place, I don't know where to start with that and am super nervous....I just can't get better living in this toxic environment, I try to shut my mouth and isolate myself fr him by staying in my room but realistically who wants to be locked in a makeshift prison cell when we have already been through some of the worst lockdowns imaginable last year.....warm regards
