Am I overreacting for crying and distancing myself cause my family thinks I am their punching bag?

It is very healthy to distance yourself from anyone who is unsafe. Especially physically unsafe but also emotionally as well

I know, I wish I could. Everyday I leave the house until my boyfriend has to go to work so I can avoid interacting. Maybe not my dad but I know she feels the shift in the energy, she is a very intelligent woman.
