What do I do

[Guest]

Im turning 19. I live with my parents. Now they have a knack at, well, being abusive. I love them with everything but I just dont think its healthy at home. Just an hour ago i brought my phone to the dinner table. My Mom threw both of her heels at me and hit me in the side of the head with a wooden food roller. This isnt the first, and to be honest this isnt even near the most severe. They pay for my college, and I still love them but once or twice a month we go through this. I cant do anything to them, and to be honest I dont know what to do.
Any Advice?
