I'm sorry you have: this to deal with. If you are still living at his home and abusive, I suggest your contacting the closest women's shelter and going there. Ask for help finding a safe place to live. Should also obtain an Order of Protection. If you are not living there, I hope you are in therapy with someone who specializes in family of origin abuse and work with your therapist about whether or not to confront

Support: Standing up to an abusive parent will take a lot of strength and support. Especially if you have strong anxiety and depression you should be seeking the help of a trained therapist who can help you with the depression and anxiety, and also help you with ways to confront or detach from your abusive parent. When a parent is abusive it causes trauma which leads to depression and anxiety.
