I'm currently a 20 year old college student living in Texas.?

You need to decide how bad you want to change this situation and actively do something quickly for yourself. This is abuse. If you are also medically reliant on them, they are not only abusing your mentally and emotionally, but it is part of physical abuse if they ever were to withhold medical care or necessities. I am from California so I am not clear on exact laws in Texas but you can start off by connecting with a local shelter (I would say start with a Domestic Violence shelter vs. homeless) or victim/witness advocates office. Explain everything just as you did on this post and provide any proof that you can. Domestic violence and abuse does not only happen between couplesit is even considered within families. If you were under 18, you would be calling CPSsince you are older, start with domestic violence resources or you can locate an Adult Protective Service office if you are even possibly considered a dependent" adult or someone who qualifies for disability. Do not let lack of money or insurance stop you from helping yourself. There are several ways that you would be able to get full insurance coverage and in an emergency rush. And even if you did not have a dollar to your name, there are emergency services that would give you shelter, clothing, and feed you without money. Don't worry about those things.your priority should be your safety, your mental health, and your medical health. Your parents are toxic and you are much better off getting help now otherwise they will be taking your paychecks when you graduate. You'll never win or have a good life you want if you stay. Good luck and please do something now
