Sometimes you just have to create some space between you and them and give them a chance to miss you.

If you're 19, then you're considered an adult. Go get yourself a job, save up your money, and move away from your abusive parents. Put yourself into counseling (you can go through a county MH/MR clinic to get it free or at a greatly reduced rate) to help you gain emotional strength. In the meantime, keep your head down and don't respond to their abusive comments. If your mom becomes physically abusive enough to leave marks, go to the police and show them the evidence.

Speak with someone at social services. Try to get yourself some counseling.
