Then leave. If you don't feel safe then get out of there asap

more details on fight please

My mother has been very abusive to me since I was a child. Here's a tip from me to you: people don't change who they are at their core. They'll feel guilty, maybe apologize for what they do, but at the end of the day I've learned that people will never be able to act against that nature. And if that nature is destructive or hostile towards you... well, it sucks, but that's how it is.

Ask yourself something. Would you rather live in a place that terrifies you and hope things will get better, or would you rather feel safe when you try to sleep at night? Would you rather medicate yourself through drugs or therapy to dull your reaction to the situation, or not be in that situation in the first place?

It sounds to me like you already know the answer. And it sucks, sure. You don't want to burn that bridge, because it sounds like you care about your family and want things to get better.

But unless you take charge of your own circumstances, they won't. I don't mean to sound like a prick, but that's just how life works.

I guess they have been very good to me for the past few months since then. I would have never imagined it, but my mother stopped being a giant cunt to my dad. Not only does she actually respond to him, they built their relationship back up. They banter like before. It's amazing.

So... that makes me happy. I'm just saying that I still have those scars.

Go to therapy OP. Even if thing got better you still have scars as you said.
