I want to quit, but I’m afraid to…

I have been at my Tech Support job for a good while now, and I am currently at a crossroads. About 4 months ago, we got a new boss. He has gotten into arguments with me about pretty much everything I do. I have asked for a raise, and he denied it; even after I showed him the algebra formula, with steps, to prove that I would not be able to afford the most starter condo I want; unless I worked there for 15 years.

I have been at my Tech Support job for a good while now, and I am currently at a crossroads.

About 4 months ago, we got a new boss. He has gotten into arguments with me about pretty much everything I do.

I have asked for a raise, and he denied it; even after I showed him the algebra formula, with steps, to prove that I would not be able to afford the most starter condo I want; unless I worked there for 15 years.

He has disabled my phone from being able to access emails.

He told me to “just read what the fuck he wrote”, because I updated a ticket in the ticket system; instead of calling the user.

He said that “I come from the military, where we don't break down your career; we break down your morale”. This was during a team meeting, after I got chewed out, for the response I just mentioned.

My boss makes me feel like I am the dogshit in his yard. I want to quit, but I can't find a development / IT job because of the current state of tech. But I need an income, and I don't want an employment gap

What do I do? I spend every night at home arguing with my family about if I should quit or not.
