I might sue my dad

My father is abusing. He hits me whenever he is at his limit, and has choked, spitted, punched, kicked and shouted at me any time he thinks I am misbehaving.

I wish I could tell you guys all about it. He will hit me just because I ask him to please respect me, so thats the kind of stuff that happens.

I finally told the truth to my psychiatrist and he told me he saw it coming. He told me to sue. Told my friends: They told me to sue. Told my boyfriend: He told me to sue. Told the police: They told me to sue.

Everyone says I should sue. But Im scared because I am 17, I have no other family that would let me stay at their place, and I am currently in a private school studying to become a voice actress. (he pays for it).

If I sue him, he will stop paying and I have no studies besides this. I won't be able to get a job anywhere here in my country.

Should I endure the abuse and mistreatments, get my mental health worse so I can continue studying? Or should I sue him, and..... not study what I like and continue to be scared for my future? I am so so Scared
