Parents

A parent is a caregiver of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is the caretaker of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age). A biological parent is a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through the sperm, and a female through the ovum.

I am sorry that you are having to go through this at your age. Firstly, you should not have to choose to stay with any parent. Being pressured to stay with one parent or another today constitutes as emotional abuse. If you have a good relationship with your father, then you are not under any obligation to stay with your mother. The fact that she is using religion to threaten you and coerce you into staying with her is disturbing, and implies possibly a history of emotional manipulation. There are now many helpful videos on youtube on how to handle emotional manipulation by parents, such as 'The Cra**y Childhood Fairy' and Jerry Wise. Emotional manipulation can damage a child for life, so you need to learn to make sense of what is happening to you and how you can handle it effectively in a way that maintains your self-protection and healthy mental and emotional growth.

Your marriage is invalid with out your full acceptance and agreeing. Your parents' Istekhara is for them to agree or not, but it does not bind you. You can go for Istekhara yourself or jointly with your parents if you are not clear and need guidance through an Istekhara.

You can pray for better proposal in your Du'a.

There is no kaffarah or anything to be paid, but there are two very important thing everyone must always remember.

1. Parents, or anyone being intimate must secure their privacy first, making sure there will be no intrusion, and have absolute certainty that nobody can or will be able to see or hear them. Even infant children should be away from their parents, and we have narrations from Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) that strongly censure parents being intimate with the presence of even a baby. 

2. Whenever someone is living with other people, he/she must always remember to announce themselves, knock doors, make a noise, say "Ya Allah", to inform others of their presence, and so on. This is to avoid seeing somebody without their clothes, or in a situation that they are uncomfortable in, etc. 

In the case something happens unintentionally, it should be forgotten, not mentioned, and just be stricter in observing these two points. 

And Allah knows best

If the parents are Muslims, they should not prevent their children from performing obligatory worship, but if they try to do that for any reason, you must perform your obligatory worship at any cost. If Muslim parents object on recommended worship, you have then to consider not to hurt their feelings and not to make them feel disrespected, specially when their objection on the recommended acts is based on their fear on you or care for you because of their thinking that certain recommended worship can affect your health such as recommended fasting. You should do your best to keep the respect of your parents and avoid any act which might cause them feeling disrespected.

If the parents are non Muslims and try to stop you from your Islamic duties, you are then not obliged to listen to them as no one is entitled to stop us from our obligatory duties.
In anyway you should always keep the respect of our parents even if they are non Muslims. In Quran Allah says in Surah Luqman, verse 15 [But if ( Your parents) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have knowledge, then don't obey them; but behave with them in this world kindly]

Wassalaam

Your responsibility is to look after your parents and serve them as a humble servant and try your best to please them and obey their orders in lawful matters. Your responsibility as their only son is more than the responsibility of your sister. Doing your best and serving your parents does not mean that you ignore the rights of your wife. Her rights on you remain preserved, although there should not be any contradiction between complete service to your parents and fulfilling the rights of your wife, but never do anything which can harm the feelings of your parents. They are your gate to paradise and eternal success

Muslim man is allowed to marrying a Muslim woman according to Shariah without the permission of his parents but virgin Muslim girl needs the permission of her father or paternal grandfather for her marriage.

In certain cases when permission is denied or rejected by the father for invalid reasons then she can go ahead with marriage to save herself from sin. 
If the girl with whom you want to marry had not been married before but she is sure that her father would refuse your proposal for invalid reason according to Islamic standards, then she can go ahead with the marriage. Wassalam.

You need to take them to an authentic scholar who can explain for the the Islamic rules according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) and tell them that following Ahlul Bayt (AS) is much more important than following the culture or society.

As long as the nikah was done, and talaq has not been recited, she is still considered married. 

However, why would her parents prevent her from living with her husband. That is very wrong and must be solved immediately. Either she lives with her husband, or she gets divorced. It is unfair for her to be in this situation.

And Allah knows best

Many of our leading Maraaje' of Taqleed say that eldest sin is responsible to compensate the obligatory worship missed by his disobeying parent.

Any other son or daughter or friend or even a paid person can perform such Qadha worship in behalf of the late person.

Suicide is a major sin because it is a crime of murder and it is a result of another major sin which is loosing hope from the mercy of Allah. Every believer in Allah should believe in his great mercy, which is much more greater than any difficulty or hardship,people who commit suicide,do so after loosing hope and thinking that their problems have no solution,and by committing suicide they try to run away from the problems this feeling of not hoping the mercy of Allah itself is a major sin.

The fact that sinless children who die during their childhood will go to paradise is a part of the mercy of Allah[THE Exalted]. The most merciful,The most compassionate.
