AITA for wanting to move out from my roommates?

Hi, I'm an autistic individual who has schizophrenia, psychosis, D.I.D, and other various mental disorders. As for my physical problems I can hardly stand for so long and lift certain weighted things due to back and hand troubles.

I'm enlisting these because I've moved out of my abusive families home to move across the country to my friends a year ago cause they offered to take care of me since I'm unable to function and properly work. Well, this past summer they bought a house and one of my roommates is prone to having anger issues and losing his mind when something small goes wrong or when nothing goes his way or something big does happen but throws a violent fit and tells us to leave the room or else he could hurt us. (Me and my other roommate who's his fiancé.)

Anyways, he'd blame on his issues and just give a sorry when this would happen. Well, this past summer they bought a house like I've mentioned and since then a lot has been going wrong. He's lost his job but he has a new one but it doesn't pay as well. But during this time he'd kind of use me to be his therapist, yell at, etc etc. He'd hit walls even though it triggers my PTSD and even when I tell him he'd scaring me, he'd just go on a.

"Oh I can't show emotions!" Type thing. Then sometimes it's a suicidal tangent.

All my life I've been a therapist to older people, I'm in my early 20's and lets just say he's older than me. (Not in his 20's.)

But now my eating disorder has gotten worse, whenever I would have a panic attack or when I hear or feel things that aren't there I'd ask for help and I wouldn't get any. I'd get another vent or be told. "Oh I'm owing this much money, what should I do?" And when I don't answer he'd just yell and such.

At this point I'm moving out to live with my friend of nearly a decade and his fiancé, who's my other roommate, does know and is aware and is fully supporting it. I tried to tell him before but he got stern and mean about it, started asking me questions to the point it was like an interrogation. To preface, I've been the maid of this house. I've cleaned and even hurt myself due to my various health and mental health issues and so I'm just in constant pain with little to no help so I don't get why he does this.

Well, I guess not to lose me, I suppose. He keeps mentioning we're a family but it feels like I'm just here to be the maid and therapist (again.) Who takes up all the emotional damage and risk getting physically or verbally hurt. He hasn't physically hurt me but I feel like it may happen soon due to how unstable his emotion has been.

I guess I feel like I'm the asshole though. But it feels like we're gonna lose this house and when I've asked for assistance with my body (like walking, grabbing me something, etc.) I get ignored and I guess I can't risk that especially when I have a cat who's my emotional support animal. Then I'm forced to hug him when he's upset or his fiancé would.

But anyways- to get to the question.

Am I the asshole for wanting to leave my roommates? Mainly him basically. He knows of his anger issues and how violent he can get but blames others for it and the world (or his autism.). I'm planning on moving already but he doesn't fully get it and I'm very scared in risk of getting harm mentally or physically. So yeah. Thanks for reading, I just want to know if I am wrong for doing this when even though everything is crumbling below us and they said they'd take care of me but it turns out I'm taking care of them.

I'm not okay, I'm hardly in reality and I'm in constant pain but there's really no one there for me. Sorry if this was a lot to read or a waste of time, thanks for reading.
