The "misalignment" that other people have mentioned stems from this: You nobly think you can work your way out of the situation, but the people with whom you are dealing are very much not acting in good faith as you are. Until the moment you see and acknowledge this fact, you will be in a state of confusion as to why, if you are working to improve things, that they aren't getting any better.
Ask yourself why they have chosen this route. If they were decent, and had your best interests at heart, surely a serious and collegiate discussion could have taken place before using this rather extreme "last-chance" option.
I hope you come to your senses very soon and see how they are behaving. Only then will you be able to assess your options in the cold light of day.
Once again, good luck.
