I feel trapped because I have no money of my own and nowhere to go. Do I just have to endure it?

The feeling of being trapped is real, but you have more options than you think, and you do not have to bear this alone. Financial dependence is often used to make you feel there is no way out; that is part of the control, not a fixed reality. If you are in danger, call the police on 999; to plan safe steps, contact Talian Kasih 15999. The Department of Social Welfare (JKM) can help with temporary shelter and basic needs. Start with one call and one person you trust. Things can change step by step; you are not abandoned. See mental health.
