I am in a very similar situation as you. I am extremely financially dependent on my parents, but around them I am emotionally volatile. I wish I could say I have moved out, I wish I could say it's a thing of the past. It's not though. It's a very difficult situation to get out of. I think what is pushing me now is the realization that staying here is only holding me back from what I could be - and what I want to be. I start therapy next week and am looking for a place to move into. I think those steps are actualizing my goal of ending my relationship with my family. Hopefully by setting yourself up for freedom slowly, you will achieve it. I really recommend you read Real Time Relationships if you have not, Stef talks about being comfortable with abuse and its consequences on the individual.
