Don't know where to put this so I'm putting it in chat. Honestly I'm too exhausted rn to type out a long list of what he's doing toward me but it ends with him threatening to kick me out of the house and I have no place to go. Funny enough he's pissed off a lot at me because hexbear has been helping me eat, like I'm supposed to starve.

I tried googling around for some help but the domestic abuse resources I've found are for spouses, nothing for an adult child. I guess because they think you're pathetic that you can't leave an abusive situation on your own as an adult.

    Sorry. My parents did the same shit when I was 18 and one of my (adult) friends has been trying to extricate herself for years. Heads-up, in some places in the US, an adult living with family is legally a month-to-month renter with $0 rent. In such cases the usual eviction protections and notice period theoretically apply. As we know cops don't have a great track record of preventing illegal lockouts. But it may be a good thing to have in your back pocket. If you're in Chicago you can crash at my place.

      Good to know and thank you. I don't live near Chicago but I appreciate the offer.
