Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Get counseling: You're an adult, right? 41yo. I would encourage you to get out of current situation. Then get counseling. Your Family Doc can refer you to Psychologists & Psychiatrists. Chat w/your religious leader. Find support groups. Check out https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/somatic-psychology/201205/escape-emotionally-and-verbally-abusive-father. Your mum may attempt to guilt you into staying but resist
