Wow, your dad and aunt seem to be incredibly controlling people. I am sorry that they treat you like this, but I think its wonderful you've stood up for yourself and moved out. That's a huge step. It may be hard, but I would suggest not having contact with them for a while. Clearly when they talk to you they are only going to try to manipulate you. Perhaps you can take a few months to get yourself into a better place, and put some distance between all the pain. It stinks to realize it but sometimes our family isn't healthy for us.

By the way, its alright for you to want your own life. There is nothing wrong with moving out on your own and having your own life. You are not a failure, or retarded or anything of the other things that your parents tell you or make you feel like. You are good. You do deserve happiness.
