Hello, I'm turning 18 in two weeks but I feel that may be the only reason why I'm still here now. I live with a family of 5 and they all have grudges towards my father. He used to physically abuse me and my sister when we were growing up, but has switched to mental abuse now. Everyone, including my mother, grew to fear him and never talk back.
Recently I brought up to my mom that my dad was literally the cause of all our problems, I gave her a recording of him talking bad about her just a few weeks ago, and she called me evil and told on me. (yes I recorded this too). He sent my sister to Iraq to marry some body builder, but he stopped their engagement and refused to let my sister come back home. Now she's in Iraq with ISIS killing people left and right. My brother puts everything off because he's already 23 and just drives off when he's angry. My mother is afraid to be alone so she sticks by his side.
Two weeks ago I ran away to my Aunt's house because my father told me he no longer wanted to be apart of my life- and those two weeks were the happiest days of my life. I got accepted into a college, received a job opportunity, opened my own bank account, got my permit. But yesterday he and my mom forced me to come home. My aunt couldn't stop them since she isn't my real parent.
Now I'm back home, and my dad wants me to give up my job opportunity and turn down this college for something online. He's against what I want to study for, saying I should be in the medical field for the money. And whenever I try to stand up to him, him and my mom gang up on me and tell me I'll go to hell for talking back to them.
(sorry for making this so long)
To sum down my situation-
My sister is stuck in the middle of war in Iraq because of my father.
I have to give up college and a job because my dad wants me to (he didn't give me any reason)
My mother and father constantly threaten that if I do anything against them I'll go to hell.
Since my brother is always off with his friends, I'm in charge of all the cleaning, serving, and maintenance of the house.
My dad recently put up surveillance in the house, so even though I'm home alone for 75% of the day, he can spy on me.
------------------------
The second part of my situation is- I met someone who I dearly love. He's been trying to help me cope for the past two years with my family problems and has really been the only positive thing in my life. He broke down after finding out I was forced back to move in with my parents and has asked me constantly about calling the police, but I don't have that courage.. He's told me before that he would take care of me if I wanted to run away, even pay for the plane ticket. And I feel now that, that's my only chance of being happy. It's what I've wanted for the past two years, and it isn't something that's going to change any time soon.
