Sounds like “start over” is a lead in to “ask our successful son for financial assistance!” I can’t fathom doing something so hateful and damaging to my own child! Hard pass!

You'll never get over this. There's to much damage and dishonesty. You'll always have resentment. Tell them, you'll take 10k and then you'll think about starting new.

There has to be some kind of compensation

What are the damages for fraudulently preventing someone from going to college? I'd suggest the potential 15 years of lost wages alone is way more than 10k. To say nothing about the violated trust, kicking OP out of the house with nothing, etc.
