Jesse couldn't escape Psycho Dad if he tried. If he leaves the Ridgway Residence and goes to another state, Psycho Dad will commence a personal manhunt, or frame him for something to get help from the authorities in re-asserting control.

The absolute only way Jesse can win is to kill his father, and claim it was in self-defense. Psycho Dad is beyond saving, immersing himself in his own insanity, trying to convince himself he's in the right and that everything that's happened to him was all Jesse's fault. Jesse can't call the cops on his father because Psycho Dad will turn them against him. And Psycho Dad can't call the cops on his son because Jesse has plenty of video evidence showing his father's many, many crimes. It's a stalemate that can only be broken by murder.

I mean, there's still that hunting rifle, right? Jesse can just use that to end Psycho Dad's reign of terror.
