Your parents raised you and provided for you. They don't own you. You are an adult, you can make your own decisions. Cut your ties if you have to. If you have to pay them back for tuition as a result, pay them back. Be civil, be polite, but assert yourself as an adult. They might be pissed off for a while, but culture/tradition aside, you are an adult and you don't deserve to be verbally abused. Be the outcast for a while, it's kind of a relief, actually. Being the Golden Child has some advantages, but for the most part, it really sucks.
