How do I warm my parents up to the idea of me going far away for college?

I’m just answer the original question instead of adding all the comments running through my mind.

Your choices are to live with the way your parents choose to spend their money or to fund you education yourself.

Ok, I can’t help myself, one comment: your mom hasn’t taken away your trust fund yet, even though you’ve gone through her bank statements, spoken incredibly disrespectfully of her, dropped out of high school and admitted that you would choose not to visit your parents if you had the choice. Only your parents know how much further you can push.
