Dealing with Abusive Family: Is It Okay to Cut Ties?

Assalamu alaikum. My sister and mother have been physically and emotionally abusive towards me for as long as I can remember. Whenever I tried to seek help, they threatened me. Now, I'm at a stage where I can spend long periods away from home, but I worry about the future. I don't want to be around them anymore because the abuse-hitting, mocking, and insults-is just too much. Talking never works; it only leads to more pain. I'm considering cutting them off completely for my own safety. Is that allowed in my situation?

This is so heartbreaking. Islam doesn't require you to endure abuse. Please reach out to a local sheikh or counselor. You're not alone.
