I'm sorry, this sounds infuriating (and depressing). Is there any way you could leave, even for a while? If not, maybe try to look at the situation as if from a distance for long enough to try to break through the wall of their incomprehension and lack of empathy towards you.., and find a different way to communicate. Even a small change in communication style from you may precipitate a positive change in communication style from them. We can hope... I hope this helps a bit. I'm not an expert in communication/relationship issues, particularly with parents. I'm sorry you feel trapped - it's a horrible feeling (I sense this trapped feeling anyway). I know you're very smart and will find a way out... I guess you have to be your parents "teacher" in how to communicate more effectively
