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.

cutting apron strings is never simple or easy. it is going to be painful. it isn't going to be pretty especially if they are going to dig in for a fight.
you don't have to cut off all ties, you just have to accept them as they are unwilling at this moment, and they too have to accept you at this moment.

Making the transition between "child" and "adult" requires a bit of an adjustment. Even after you've become self-supporting, getting your parents to treat you as an adult may take some effort on all your parts.
