Yes, it sounds abusive. You need to spend more time away from the house, and you need to build a circle of friends up, as a support group. You should also tell your doc or Social Services person what's going on. They may be able to help you find somewhere else to live. It would also help if you could get some sort of a simple job, so that you will have some money to live on, and be able to live on your own.
One of the other posters mentioned going to social events, and finding a quiet corner to sit in, and just letting people come to sit and chat with you for a while, in order to help you build up a social network. This is a good idea, even if you are non social, like I am. I skip most of the family gatherings, but do go to some of them, as it is important to have an emergency network of people to help in emergencies. My father is in his 90s, and my step mom is probably in her 80s now. I am in my late 50s, and live alone. We all have health issues, so it is important that I maintain contact with other relatives in case of emergencies. That's basically why I attend a few family functions during the warm months. My father and step mom are snow birds, so they spend the cold months down south. I have some step relatives up here, and my two brothers both moved up here, so I do have family in the area.
I am a hermit type of person--non social, but not anti social. However, I have found that my NT relatives get upset when I don't maintain at least some contact with them, so I have to make or receive phone calls, and send and receive emails with them, and also, occasionally attend family gatherings. I've gotten better at dealing with those. While there I generally just let everything go on about me, but will talk to people when they talk to me. This seems to be working out for me.
Tried a new type of casserole at a family gathering this spring. It was an egg/cheese/potato/sausage casserole. YUMMY! Once the weather turns colder I am going to start making my own egg casseroles. Because I can't stand the texture of raw eggs when I crack them, I will use liquid or powdered egg, and will use frozen shredded hash brown eggs from the store, and shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever meat I feel like using. I am looking forward to that.
Sorry I went off topic. Hope you are able to fix your situation.

Unfortunately, I don't really have access to social gatherings. I don't really have many friends, and most of those I do have live in other places.
No, my parents are not physically abusive. When they punish me, they make me do extra chores, the ones that I absolutely hate doing (for sensory reasons, mostly). They deny that they are punishing me, but they are. I know from experience. They do it when they are angry at me (usually because I'm being selfish/arrogant/lazy/heartless/acting stupid etc.).
I don't trust my parents enough to 'fix' my relationship with them. Any relationship required trust, and I have no trust in them. I just want to get away from them.
