I am 21 years old and live in an abusive home, my father is the aggressor and is 65 years old. He is a veteran and is 50% disabled. My mother is also a veteran and 100% disabled. He is volatile, violent, breaks personal belongings of myself and my mother, threatens violence, threatens suicide, and has committed assault on me when I was a child and adult, but never left scars.
He and my mother own the house together on the mortgage, and he has kept me from relatives, friends, and any services that may be able to help me. He often takes my phone so I am unable to speak to others or record what has recently transpired with photographs. I am afraid that if I call upon the law, he has told me I will have nowhere to go but the streets. Is this true? Is there any way that I can be helped legally, as he has also said my mother cannot testify even if she wanted to because they are married.
I am very afraid and the stress from this is ruining my ability to focus and work in college, and I am fearful I have already ruined my future by having been in this house so long. Thank you for any and all replies, I will review and give any more information needed for an answer.
