I am currently 18 years of age. I've been physically abused by my dad since childhood. I've gone through depression to cutting myself to suicidal thoughts. I don't want to have any relationship with my dad at all. I currently live in the suburbs of San Francisco and is planning on moving out. The only problem is I have no money and no place to stay. I don't want to call the cops on my dad because I know he has diabetes and kidney problems. But at the same time I'm terrified of living here. He can snap at any moment and start beating me up. I've called the police on him once a few years back, but he got off with a warning. I don't want to put him in jail or anything because, after all, he is my biological father and has provided for my living expenses.
Recently, I've been thinking about joining the Air Force but at the same time I'm scared. I want to be able to depend on myself and have financial freedom without my parents help. I don't know what to do. I'm terribly lost. But one thing for sure is that I need to get out of this household. I'm sick and tired of crying every night, praying to god, for someone to come help me. I don't want to have nightmares of my dad beating me up in the hallway anymore. I just want to live by myself. I have a job, but I only get 8 dollar an hour and I only work 3 days a week. I'm also taking classes at a community college and I fear that if i move out, I won't have the time or money to take classes. It seems that the best option for me is to join the military.
Is joining the air force in order to get out of my abusive household and gain financial freedom a good idea? Is there any other ways or programs out there that can help me with my situation?
