Moving out temporarily

[anonymous_personx]

TW! 

From the age of 9 i have been raped by my brother, it stopped when I turned 12, i reported it to the police and was undergoing therapy for the ptsd. Recently i told my boyfriend and he suggested that I move out and live with him instead . My parents aren't so keen on him and think he's bad for me but I love him. I know my mum wouldn't allow me to move in with him. I don't want to be at home with my brother anymore but sadly have no where else to go, so it's either stay in a house i feel scared and unsafe in or i disobey my mums wishes and move in with my boyfriend anyway.

What should I do? Someone help me
