A few questions. Is it bad that I feel rather emotionally detached from my parents? I don't like living with them because I feel as though we fundamentally don't understand each other. They think that I can choose not to be miserable, and they're never willing to consider their own flaws. They blame me for not trusting them, but I don't see how something like that could be my fault. How do I stop caring about our relationship? It would be better for everyone if I gave up hope, I feel. I'm not saying that out of self-pity; in fact, I don't feeling strongly either way about it. It's just a huge hinderance at this point.
It is bad if you're emotionally detached from your parents but are still dependent on them.

You sound like a spoiled little bitch.
Getting them to admit fault doesn't make it better, to be honest. From where you're at already, it would only make you wish they'd have realized it sooner. It's a never ending cycle when you can't get yourself to like someone; you pick at any fault they have as though you just want them to go away.
Best thing to do is try and be the better person. Buy them a gift, treat them better than they treat you and it should be returned in kind.

Congratulations! You are officially a Typical Teenager.

Taking note of all the replies already given in this thread, I will pitch in my own two cents.
You ARE a typical teenager, there's no two doubts about it. Don't feel bad about it, though, I fear everyone's gone through these same emotions at one point or another in their teen years. Your parents, it sounds, still care for you. They still feel parental love for you. At least, that's what I can gather from your words.
As Haz said, try being nicer. Honestly! You'll feel a lot better if you just put in the effort to... well, do what you're saying you want your parents to do. To relate to you more.
You talk about your parents as if they're an obstacle to overcome. If you want to clear this obstacle, become closer to it. Understand it. Recognize the barrier it poses to you, and solve it in a way that assimilates it into your own self.
Love your parents. There's no other way around it. They love you, at least give them a chance.

I'm sort of the same. I managed to be the black sheep of the family, though after tons of thought and some counselling I realize it's not my fault. It's just the way things are; I'm in an environment that's not fit for me.
