Escape from an abusive household

Hi, my name is Nick. You may know me better online as ChameleonCircuit within spaceflight communities. I'm looking to raise enough funds to be able to get myself out of the abusive home life I'm in presently and finally give myself the chance to experience person-hood on my own, as an individual. I understand this is a side of me that not many, if any of you have seen, I've purposefully avoided talking about it as it is a somewhat heavy topic.

I typically avoid asking for help with personal matters, but my living situation has become untenable to the point that having a stable roof over my head has become a genuine source of anxiety in recent weeks. And as we say, desperate times call for desperate measures. I've been living with my father (again) since the pandemic shortly after it's peak back in 2022, during which time his prescription drug abuse had become steeply unhealthy and borderline addictive when he got his refills. But things began primarily in 2019, with the passing of my mother after complications post-surgery, of which I moved out shortly after in 2020. That, in addition to his condition now, demonstrates that things have not improved since. While some nights are relatively quiet, at it's worst I may end up awake for several hours into the evening, either because of direct confrontation, screaming matches with the others who live in the house, or nearly burning said house down in the middle of the night- most of the times I, or others, have had to prevent.

This has caused nearly permanent damage to my mental and physical state, I oftentimes wake up at certain times of the day because my body has grown used to the sounds of my door being beat against, or that he may walk into my room and searching for something, promptly making a mess out of it when I am out visiting family- or decide it's his right to poke around my personal computer. Even as I write this now, he is in the living room slurring his words beyond much recognition, detailing how this isn't his own fault, how nobody in the house contributes. His actions thus far have already led to one of the five living here moving out, leaving me and two others to contend with his fits as home relations deteriorate.

I understand this fundraiser may be too much to ask, or an impossible goal to reach, but I don't have many other avenues of choice as the damage dealt by spending most of my teenage years having to take care of my father as to keep a roof over my head is severe- affecting my education, emotional development and mental health.

As far as I have overheard on the matter, we have up to November until we are forced to move. Something I know my father will not plan ahead for, and a majority of us cannot afford- nor do most of us desire to continue living with him, I would just not fit into the other's plans.

A majority of these funds will be going towards housing, moving, and a smaller part towards a cell plan- something I haven't had the luxury of affording, but is, at this point, required for moving forward. Most of my current income is peddled towards him for whatever he deems fit, under the guise of rent. This will give me the ability to break off from this house, and from there on I'll be able to seek out a local job to supplement this income as things continue on.
