When in An Emotionally/Verbally Abusive Household

What I'm dealing with is currently, temporarily once again staying with folks, who can be extremely abusive when one is not submissive and going along with their ways.
*This time I realize I have severe PTSD, and i'm triggered easily, often regarding recent and long-past abuse by the same family members.
But I've not found safe and reasonable other housing as of yet.
SO ....
I have friends if I confide in them, they keep suggesting I do things that would upset the applecart.
Today one said to SUE my parents for the abuse?
UM....they have no idea what they are dealing with/talking about/don't understand me at all.
It's so frustrating. The same friend, apparently I cannot confide in them anymore, keeps making suggestions that only upset me much much more for days.

It's like the kid at the playground being abused by his dad, if you go confront dad, the kid will get severely beat up when they get home as dad will take out his frustration and anger over your confronting them on the kid LATER.

Your situation sounds awful and I'm sorry that you're going through this. No one who hasn't been in this situation can even begin to imagine what it's like for you, even if their advice is well meaning.

Perhaps your first priority needs to be to work out a way to get yourself out of this situation, and find somewhere else to live. Obviously you're not back at home through choice but necessity so it won't be easy, but working towards this, even in small ways, can give you a focus, something to concentrate your energies on and a goal and a sense of autonomy.

At some point you may want to consider therapy - it's important that you are heard.
