Others may advise trying to mend fences, but some relationships can't be repaired, and it's not healthy to stay in a relationship that's harming you.

If you can't stop them picking out your place, you may still have the option of renting that place out to someone else and living somewhere cheaper and pocketing the difference. You don't have to tell your parents everything you do.

You can also be civil without being friendly, but that's something you have to learn, and time away from them is probably necessary at this point.
