I can relate to this; my parents are trying to control my life, and what I do in it. Before, when I was real young (14-16), I used to let them control me by putting limits, etc. (I guess that is fair in such a young age). Now, I am 18, and I don't take %#@&#! from them. I can walk away from them at any point in my life if they cross the line.
I don't want to be harsh, but sometimes I have to be to get the point across: you are 26 and can't break away from your parents and their wishes. That's really disturbing to hear. I mean, you should respect your parents and their wishes, but letting them control your life is NOT smart.
Now, for realistic solutions to your situation:
A: Make enough money to afford to move out (or a loan).
B: Move in with your new BF.
C: Talk to your parents, and change them (this is often very hard, or for some, impossible).
Yeah, I know that it might be silly to take advice from such a young guy like me, but I have a little experience when it comes to this, and I'm just giving you logical solutions.
