Your divinations might still be giving accurate readings, if your questions were particularly broad. Their short-term outcomes could align quite well with your interests, while their longer-term consequences could be dramatically opposed to your interests. Depending upon how your will and soul interpret your conscious ponderings, your divinations could easily be providing answers to the broadest interpretations of your questions and intents. To find out if something like that is taking place, try breaking your inquiries down into several more limited queries, such as "would this align with my short-term interests?", "are there any long-term drawbacks?", and "will this end up having more downsided than benefits?"
Should that line of questioning yield more reliable readings, then you would come away with more nuanced data by which to plan your best course of action. Should divination reveal that your parents' resistance to or resentment of your autonomy were sufficiently detrimental, you might want to consider taking some protective actions, like getting a P.O. Box to receive any mail that might upset them, or opening a new email account that you never log onto from computers they can access.
Should more bite-sized divinations yield no better results than before, then the task before you is more challenging. That would point to your will being deeply divided. Most certainly, your parents don't have a greater influence over the life force than the gods do (in other words, divination works.) However, your parents may well have that potent of an influence over you and your subconscious. Whatever energetic parasites they have succeeded in implanting in you could easily be distorting your divinatory efforts by making you too afraid to ask, too distracted to hear, or too doutful to trust the wisdom if the divine.
Magic often feels like someone whammying us from outside, but we have to have the vulnerabilities inside of us for that to work in the first place. Clear away all those parasites that are not you, and only your own energies will be left to shine through in their divine truth. Have a blast scouring yourself clean!
