I've been verbally, psychologically, physically, and sexually abused. This is America. An abuse hotline will hear you out, but as far as I know we do not have abuse shelters [and few other such resources] for males in the Eastern US. Know that it's not okay, that you are not alone, and do not do anything rash. One in six boys or men are raped or sexually assaulted, and as many as one in four adult men report psychological and physical abuse at home at some point in their life. Hang in there, and feel free to PM me if you prefer to talk privately. I can't offer more than what I've gained through experience and recovery, but it is indeed possible to move on. If the abuse puts you in danger, research resources for homeless shelters. These are the only options for abused men in most of the US.
My heart breaks for what you have been through.
You are so right though. The resources are so nonexistent. And there is no such thing as help for Autistics who are emotionally, psychologically, and mentally abused and tortured by a society that cannot and will not understand us. I have been fighting so hard to try to get my area to create programs that meet our needs but the agencies just refuse. It's very difficult. I am so sorry that you have been so hurt.
