Hi I need some advice on living with my mom and dad. I have really troubled parents. My mothers troubles all stem from my father. My father is the one in the house that makes my mother and I fell worthless, he makes us get frustrated and angry very quickly, and we just don't want to live with my father anymore. My parents are not married so there is no legal thing binding them together, except what they say is me. I'm turning 18 in a month and every since I was 10, I have memories of my mother and father yelling at each other and arguing. There was even a period where my mother threw my father out of the house for a year because it got so bad. When I asked why she brought him back, it was because she couldn't support her and I for that long on only one salary. I was sentenced to a year of therapy at age 13 by a family court judge to deal with how I felt. Whenever he is talking to someone, he also has to curse or say it in a loud voice, so as to intimidate and scare. I hate this way of living. About two months ago, I had objected to something that he had said was correct and after a few times of me telling my father no, I got punched in the shoulder and back. I have been able to forgive and forget my father for similar things that he has done in the past but I just can't anymore. My problem is I depend on him for college and my mother for the mortgage payment. If i disobey him, I am on my own. What can I do to get through this rough time?
