Im scared of not knowing wt till happen, so if u can help please do!! im desperate, i cant continue like this anymore,
This is a complicated answer, by no means rely on only my words. Theres several options open to you all depending on age, first most people think of is social services, i do not recommend this one as i tried this too, they listened to me talk then rang the people i told them about and made the situation worse, i never heard from them again. There are charities who will also try help you again depending on age, obvious one is NSPCC, although i still dont believe in them. There are services for young adults, various different agencies, i have friends woh left due to shit at home, they applied for dole, got a bedsit, then got a job and worked there way up to their own accomodation. The way i got away from it all was i took an informal apprenticeship, lived in a caravan on site and worked until i could rent a place. Although it took a lot before i got to that point.
There are refuges for various things, although unfortunately they mainly focus on women i domestic violence. Again this all depends on age and circumstance.
If your still in education it can be harder. Although if you are try to keep in it, it cant hurt your chances in future.
Other options include friends, stopping at friends and sorting it out over the phone, telling everyone, then the backlash may not happen. If it does again its a matter of picking yourself up and doing it again.
It does depend on so many variables, one thing i do suggest is google, there should be support groups out there with professional advice.
Sorry i cant help more, ive been in the situation and know the need to get out.
