I sympathize with you.

But as I can get from your question, you are a graduate, must be older than 18 years of age.

After the age of 18 years, your parents are not liable for your maintenance. In simple words, you cannot legally ask them to pay for your expenses. They can even expel you from their house.

In the eyes of Law, you are not dependent on your parents. You are not handicapped, so not dependent on anyone. You can work and earn. Law cannot compel your parents to pay you any expenses.

For physical torture, you can report the matter to the Police. But, you cannot forcefully live at your parental home.

Find some suitable NGO or institutions that help people in need. Try to get job on the basis of your B.Com. degree. Masters degree is not needed for many private jobs. If they physically torture or assault you then get police help. As you are major your parents and relatives are not bound to give you home and food. So you have to be independent by quickly searching any suitable job. Involve some reputed social workers if you can in your matter. You did not mention that why they treat you like this since childhood. If anything you can do reasonably for them which they want, then do it (only if it is legal, moral and reasonable). What medicines you are taking? Other legal actions in your case are impracticable. However, keep away from any bad company, bad friends/people and bad habits, because people can take benefit of your condition. Be strong. Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. Time changes.

Nothing is more damaging to your confidence and self-esteem than being in an emotionally abusive relationship.

Unlike physical abuse which rears its ugly head in dramatic outbursts, emotional abuse can be more insidious and elusive. In some cases, neither the abuser nor the victim are fully aware it’s happening.

The most obvious scenario for emotional abuse is in an intimate relationship in which a man is the abuser and the woman is the victim. However, a variety of studies show that men and women abuse each other at equal rates.* In fact, emotional abuse can occur in any relationship — between parent and child, in friendships, and with relatives.
