I don't know how much more of this I can take. My entire family are abusive.

I'm sorry for the way these people treat you.... It's not okay in any way. It is tough, though, trusting someone when so much depends on the (in regards to your SO) but, if that was me I would try to envisage a back up that you would theoretically use if your SO did ever leave. It's theoretical, probably won't ever need it in 6 months time, but may give u peace of mind that your happiness isn't dependant on another person staying the same. He sounds like a good guy and exactly what you need right now. In regards to your family I have little to say... I think it is cruel and not normal to be able to change so quickly-I have seen it first hand and am still shocked by how obvious it is. The only advise I have there is what I was told... To just grit your teeth and know that when u finally are out, and living your new life these things will fade into past and eventually distant memory, and it won't resolve or "cure" what is going on, it will alleviate some symptoms and give u your own chance for free growth of your mind and body - something imo that parents should help with. Best of luck and keep your head up.... I hope this helps
