Question

Answer
Miki,
You simply went from one abusive place to another. Forget about your feelings, they will not save you from being abused. You need to get practical and real with actual behavior. You need to move out on your own. Moving out on your own will allow you to start some personal growth in your life. This personal growth needs to take place in order to start recognizing peoples bad behavior and then staying away from it.
