That seems to be an extreme example of tiger-parenting, which is very common in traditional Asian households; but that does not make it right (far from it). I think you should confront them and tell them exactly how they make you feel when they say what they say, but if it escalates you should probably involve the police. Toxicity from one's elders/'superiors', is still toxicity. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Maybe your Mom is broken-hearted that you love chess more than her?
When I was about twelve (1972) I took to my room with two chess sets and books all around. After a while my mom got worried, or maybe she missed me, one day she opens the door and tells me to bring my stuff into the living room to spend more time with the family. I flat out said no, and she turned away and closed the door behind her, without saying a word.

I know im currently blocked by you but I could in some ways relate to this
believe it or not, our otb ratings are pretty similar (100 point range) and my parents have shouted at me before. What I did is to negotiate with them and try to work out a solution. Alas, I still sucked even after negotiating and trying so I just quit for around 8 months. Now im back(still buns) and she just doesnt get mad anymore. I dont understand why. Maybe this will help.

"i have a dream which i feel is coming closer with each game... the cm title"
- That is unambitious. I have exceeded 2200 FIDE myself, nothing special.
If you are under 20 and doing well, then you should aspire IM.
If your goal is CM, or FM, or IM, then you should act accordingly.
In another thread you said your goals are 2600 blitz & rapid.
You spread yourself too thin.
Set one goal only.
Parents have their own hopes and expectations.
Famous stories are about Dad Polgar and his 3 daughters Zsusa, Sofia, and Judit, or about Dad Williams and his tennis daughters Venus and Serena.

Positive reinforcement is the right way.
