Go for it. Particularly since you’re living with your aunt (will you be commuting to save $$?). You’ll need to fill out FAFSA, and you’ll need your parents’ tax info (income and assets) to do that. So you’ll need to make peace with them somehow.

I think your question and problem is more about keeping the peace with your parents while you pursue your life, rather than really a question about financial aid.

Go for it. Good luck!
