Hey @Mango_Lyrebird, I have had a look at the NSW restrictions for you and it says that if you are feeling unsafe, you don't need to stay home. If you'd like to have a read, the link is here. If you are still feeling unsure, you could contact some of the services listed on that page. They also might be able to help you with planning if you need them to.

Leaving home can be so scary. My home environment was toxic too and I still didn't want to leave even though I was unhappy. I felt bad leaving my home and I still loved my parent who had their own struggles. This was a long time ago and I have to say that our relationship only improved after I had moved out. Moving out doesn't mean that you never see them again. You could always visit on your own terms and when you feel ready to. I know it is a really tough choice and it is only something you can decide. I had a safe place to go and my safe person motivated me to get a plan going because I really struggled with taking any steps 💖 Whatever you decide, we will be here to listen.
