[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to all of you. I think several of you hit the nail on the head when you observed that I am already pretty much estranged from my parents. The idea I was considering was making it a formal and explicit estrangement, which I honestly don't consider to be the best course for many reasons (one of which being that the estrangement would be yet another strike against me in their eyes). Therapy is a great idea, and I hope to get it sometime soon. It was very validating for me to hear from those of you who believe my parents' actions were inappropriate. One technique that they have continually employed with me is "gas lighting" -- rather than owning up to their bad behavior, they always turn it back around on me as though I am just being oversensitive, crazy, or even malicious.
