Define verbal abuse. If it is bad enough they will take you out of your home and place you with strangers that will probably try to molest you. When I am verbally abused I abuse back. I usually win. What do you want to happen? Your dad has abandoned you and you are forced to live with a man that will pretend to be your dad and tell you what to do. Blame your parents, not the stranger whose house you are living in.

Yelling is not really verbal abuse. I had 5 kids and everyone yelled a lot. When I was 16 I was not allowed to talk back to my parents or I got slapped in the face. The laws changed when I became a parent and I was not allowed to slap my children. I actually hope the laws do not change so that parents are no longer allowed to yell at their kids, then the children will be running the house. That is sad.

you shouldn’t worry about it. I know that might be hard but you have to remove yourself from that situation and worry about yourself. I don’t mean to be harsh but you’re mother should be the one talking to your father, you shouldn’t have to deal with this situation. She’s a grown woman and should take action for her child’s well being.
