That, right there, would be enough for me to say that this...

... sounds like a viable alternative at this point. Basically your parents are exerting complete power over you, and they have no respect for you as a person. Do you really want to live with that? If you moved out and/or transferred, would they really condemn you to hell, or would they eventually open their eyes and see how well you're doing in a new place?

I am not usually one for telling people to disown their parents, but this situation seems rather extreme. You've got to stand up for yourself, man, or they are going to own you for the rest of your life.
