Congrats seldom on standing up for yourself like this! It's incredibly hard. I think it takes a certain amount of self-worth and respect for yourself to be able to do that, especially with parents. No matter how bad parents are (and they can be terrible!!) it seems that it's always harder with them... for me anyway. I started a new job a year or so ago that really taught me to draw my boundaries or get trampled. It was hard, but a year or so later, I think my self esteem and self confidence has increased tremendously. Drawing boundaries can be hard, but so worth it in the end. :) Good for you!
