Why does your mother think you're Satan-spawn? Did this develop over time?
Your dad sounds a lot like my mother, except that she's been medicated for her anxiety/depression/panic attacks for something like 15 years now (and she doesn't hate me--more like she hates herself, though). I'm an only child, like you--and this increases the pressure and makes it more difficult for us to walk away from our parents.
Have there been any attempts and mediation, counseling, etc? Or do you simply just want nothing to do with them anymore, for the rest of your life? Disowning works, but the problem is that you have to stick to your guns and make sure that it's truly what you want.
