I'm in a toxic and abusive house i live with my father and his wife and I've been given a chance to move in with a friend but her mum is thinking if it is a good idea or not (which is fine what she says goes) the wife is the toxic and abusive one my father tries to help but cant because she threatens to file a divorce and he loves her but I'm his daughter not hers so she likes to humiliate me and make me wear boy clothing and nothing else ( i identify as a girl pronouns she/her she knows this) she also makes me wear my hair in a ponytail plat very very tightly to the point I'm losing hair because of it she likes to talk down of my mum to me as well and i now have anxiety and depression and often have suicide thoughts.

I'm very scared all the time even at school.

I'm not aloud any type of device at all no tv no phone no radio to listen to music NOTHING

i only am aloud to go outside when I'm doing chores or going to school/coming back or seeing my mum for the weekend.

Idk what to do if my friends mum says yes 

I'm scared and need a opinion please.
