My mother died two years ago. I am living with/taking care of a psychologically abusive father. He has the financial means to have caregivers here. My older brother recently came down for a visit.. My father spent the entire time trashing me behind my back (I could easily overhear the nonsense) It is starting to feel like the only reasons I am here are to (1) keep him from throwing away thousands of dollars (live rent free). He has always been a chronic complainer who blows off steam over nothing but this situation is looking useless and idiotic. Is it time for me to just throw in the towel and bail?
"50 ways to leave your abusive father".
It is sad to see you in so much pain
I wish I could quickly make life happy again
The path to freedom is clear by approaching it logically
I want to help you make it better and get yourself free
There must be 50 ways to leave an abusive father!
Just use the key,
Its name is boundary

Just make a new plan, Stan

I have yet to write more verses but you get the idea.
Save yourself!
Who is POA? Would your brother step into that role if you left? Do you have spouse and children with you there?
Only you can decide what to do here, but sounds like you are getting burned out from the strain of putting up with this nonsense.
My advice is to put things in order, make different arrangements and get out before he sucks the life out of your soul.
I was supposed to say. "There must be 50 ways to leave an abusive father!"
