If your last visa was under PBS dependant visa then you cannot apply under the domestic abuse rules. That is not a specified route under the rules. The domestic violence guide says this about an ILR application:
The only people eligible to apply for ILR are those whose:
• first grant of leave was under paragraphs D-ECP.1.1, D-LTRP.1.1, D-LTRP.1.2, (other than as a partner of a person in the UK with limited leave, a fiancé or fiancée or proposed civil partner), or D-DVILR.1.2 of Appendix FM
• last grant of leave was under paragraph 276AD of the Immigration Rules or
• paragraphs 23, 26, 28 or 32 of Appendix Armed Forces
The domestic violence rules do not apply to:
• the spouse, unmarried partner or registered civil partner of a sponsor who has only limited leave to enter or remain in the UK
• fiancé or fiancées or proposed civil partners
• people seeking asylum in the UK
• the spouse or civil partner of a foreign or Commonwealth citizen who is serving, or has served, in Her Majesty’s (HM) forces and who has not completed a minimum of 4 years’ reckonable service
Individuals who have never had leave on one of the specified routes may be able to make an application on form FLR(FP) on the basis of their family and private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights or for leave outside the rules on form FLR (HRO) or FLR(IR).
I believe an FLR(FP) application is appropriate in your circumstances
