How to deal with my strict Arab Muslim parents?

...See more My parents are strict and obsessive of me and i don't know how to deal with them. They don't want me to go out anywhere without them, they don't want me to have friends and they never let me meet my friends outside of school. saddest part about my life is that I'm a 27 year old female. And i just recently realized that my life is not normal. The way my parents control my life is not normal. There are many incidents that shows that my parents are abusive and can hurt me if i disobey them. But there were three specific incidents that just broke it for me and made me realize that my parents are not "overprotective" they're actually crazy and they don't love me. I once told my mom that i went to the supermarket between my classes, the supermarket was outside of my college campus so i had to take a taxi. She was disappointed and angry and said to me "if you ever get assaulted by a man and you report it to the police then we (my mother and father) will disown you and throw you to the street" Another incident was when i told my father that if he ever tries to force me into marriage or if he tries to stop me from working or studying then I'll runaway from them. I applied for a job few weeks ago. He didn't like that i won't be wearing the face viel and that the job is not gender segregated. He was threatening me and said to me "you will see what i will do, you will regret your decision for applying to this job" I was frightened and didn't go to the job interview. I just don't feel safe in my home. And there are no laws that can protect me from my family. If i leave my parents house then my father can either report me to the police that i left the house without his permission or he could just find out where i am with the help of his "connections". If he reports me to the police then i would be considered as a runaway criminal. My bank account and phone number will be disabled. I will banned from traveling. And If the police catch me then i will be forcibly sent to my parents house, or i would be taken to a facility which is pretty much like a prison for women who don't have family or have been disowned or abused by their family. I feel lost. Sometimes i feel like it would be better to just end my life by myself peacefully. It's a better choice than giving up and letting my parents control my life. But then i remember that my father wishes for my death and i don't want to make his wish to come true. I just need an advice on how to deal with them. And is it wrong that I hate my parents?
