What to do to live with a verbally abusive parent? He is controlling, manipulative, mean, selfish, uncooperative, argumentative and belittling. Moving is not an option at present.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and it seems very informative and helpful. I have had a look around but I don't know if there is an actual disorder that relates to my problem so I'm unsure where to post.

bad episodes I'm like a heremit, but when the worst is over I force myself to pick up contacting my social network of family and friends again. They know me and wait ...

I hate being an aspie.
