I Have a Question

I've been thinking about going to a women's shelter to escape the abusive atmosphere. All the internet literature I've found is eerily specific to partner abuse, and the abuse I am subjected to on a regular basis is adult/child and sibling abuse. By adult/child I mean I'm an adult being abused by my parent, who I'm the child of. I will be extremely specific about stating that it is NOT my dad who abuses me. My question is will I be accepted into a women's shelter despite my abusers not being my partner?

YES! They have the necessary support you need regardless of who your abuser is. I would leave as soon as possible especially if the abuse is physical.

I wish you all the best and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You should try. And if you make sure they wont tell anyone that you came if they cant take you, theres nothing to lose.

the local women's shelter doesn't have a public address. I have to call them to pick me up somewhere.
