Any else trapped in an abusive situation?

Just curious. I endure daily abuse and humiliation, in addition to battling multiple chronic illnesses. My life is a living hell and I have nowhere to turn. The upshot is that it's a great catalyst to ctb.

I used to, but not anymore. My dad used to hit, slap, kick and swear at me, but it got better when he cheated on my mom because they got a divorce.
I am very sorry for your chronic illness and daily situation.

I know a woman on here who deals with verbal abuse and is stuck.

Yes and no. Not abusive anymore but stuck with trauma.

My father SA'd me repeatedly as a child and as an adult I still live with him. He doesn't know I know and treats me normally. I feel like I'm stuck with the memory stuck in my head until I move out and constantly in doubt if it even happened. If I tell someone about it but not name names, he'll likely be briefed I said something as it happened in the past. If I tell someone and say who, I'm afraid of something even worse happening to me or breaking the family. I love my mother too much for her to know.

I can't afford to move out or tell almost anyone IRL and I'm stuck keeping it in. I only told a very close IRL friend and she stopped talking to me. I'm glad it's all over but it's hard to live with the knowledge this all happened.

I consider myself lucky the worse is over, and I offer my condolences to those currently stuck in a horrible situation.
