[Update] My [21,M] fiancé [35,M] does not show me any respect in front of his friends or family.

Thank you for all the responses and concern with my original post. I think when I posted it, I knew how messed up my situation was, and I am seriously thankful that you all gave me the push I needed to get out of my relationship with C.
I called my mom just a few hours after making that post. I was so worried that she wanted nothing to do with my anymore, but right when I said that I needed help leaving C, she got in the car during our call and headed my way. You all pointed out how silly it was for me to think my family would not take me back, and you were right.
I did not intend on telling C that I was leaving, but he came back home to pick something up, and I had a few bags packed. He became more desperate than angry. He did grab me and bind my hands while yelling at me, and he was physically blocking me from leaving the room, but he did not get any more physically aggressive than that.
After tiring himself out from yelling, he just pleaded with me to stay. He promised me that we would set a date for the wedding. He also tried giving me money, and that was odd. He literally started pulling out cash. I had never seen him so desperate, and it changed the way I see him overall. He had always seemed like the most well put together guy possible, but he isn't, and I am disappointed in myself for falling for his lies. He gave up after my mom got there. I am very glad she arrived when she did.
I still love him. I cannot lie to you all about that. This is still fresh and I am sure these feelings will fade, but a big part of me is already missing him. I know that it is messed up, but I want to curl up beside him.
My mom hugged and kissed me more than she ever has when she picked me up. She had some pretty strong words towards C, but overall, we left without much trouble. The ride back home had a lot of tears on my part, but it was good to catch up with my mom, and she gave me a lot of good advice and comfort. She even made me fish & chips when we got home. :)
I wanted to jump right back into seeing friends again, and I got to hang out my best pal from grade school. Many of my friends still live in our hometown, so that is nice. My friend was glad to see me. She took me to a late night movie, and that was great. I had not been to a movie without C and his friends in a long time, and he only goes to an arthouse theater that typically bored me. I never got to decide what C and I did when we went out, and having this feeling of freedom is great! I know it is silly to put so much significance on seeing Incredibles 2, but it made me happy.
My friend even took me on a super late hike on one of my favorite trails. She is a sweetheart, and I am glad to be able to hang out with her again. She already wants to find me some hot guy our age to have some fun with. I am not sure if I will be ready for that anytime soon, but it does sound exciting, and I'm glad to know that my friend is that ready to hook me up and all. She says that she thinks it may be good to have a little fling, nothing serious, but just some muscled young guy to get my mind off of C, but I don't know.
Many of you pointed out how terrible it was that he did not want me to go to college. I was planning on going to school for Computer Science or do like my dad and go to law school. You are all probably right about him restricting me out of an attempt to make me more dependent on him. I am going to start applying to college, and this is exciting for me.
C does keep calling. I know many of you suggested that I block him, but I have not done that step yet. I have responded to him only once though. He just keeps trying to offer me things. I've never even expected him to give me much money or gifts. It is strange that he is resorting to basically bartering with me.
I am going to visit my sister today, and I look forward to seeing her again.
It is going to take me away to drift back into normalcy, but I think I have taken some great first steps into taking care of myself.
Tl/dr: My mom picked me up from his house, and aside from a little aggression and desperation, it went well. I am living with my mom and dad for now, and I am already seeing friends again.
