Would this be counted as Family Violence?

Hello

Need some advice would any off of this be family violence I am facing? Or do I need just fix how I get along with my family

Some of the issues from my family are
*Being monitored who I talk to, and if family don't like the person then sending them threats, and then asking me to pay money as family see being friends with any group of people they hate as a betrayal of family values(Family will generally take my phone etc each night see who I talked to that day)

*When family are drunk or on drugs, often death threats. Along with items be thrown at me

*Having family constantly damage my property i.e laptop which makes completing my uni studies hard

*Often demanding huge amount of money(living me struggling for basics)with threats of assaults if don't give

*When they are high on drugs being hit, kicked, etc

*Sending abusive message to my now former workplace

Advice from some mental health and social workers so far from is I need to learn just get along with family, one said if this means only doing as they say then so be bit. It was also suggest as a first thing I try or pretend I am not gay since my family are homophobic

I am confused if it is me or the family that's the issue. Maybe it is all my fault?

I am based in Melbourne and in my 20s

EDIT: Moving out might sound simple but been financial abuse for years so do not got funds do so. In past when working my family demand all or most income.
