This seems like the best course of action for me. I hate doing cuts like this that sort of just help white, but white has forced my hand. Some ways it might go:

This is far from ideal, but at least I get out.

Alright here we go. If white tries to kill me, I think I can win.

I think like this I win, so white will probably compromise. I also haven't looked at all the variation. However if white dives the other way, I think he just ends up forcing me against his weak group.

I think it was important before he played the move above for Black to decide if he wished to cut at 'a'. The following exchanges as played out gave Black bad shape and needlessly strengthened white's cutting stone.

Simply put, I can't afford to connect here. At first I thought that it was ok, but then I realized that if I connect, he can fix his throw in problem by peeping in sente, and thus will get the first move on the bottom, insuring his live and possibly my death.

This looks a disaster. As a result, I have to ignore his peep.

It's not ideal, but I can live in the corner and get some great thickness facing out.

Yes, it's cut point city, but I have no choice. More comments after edit.
I would like to atari his one stone, I really would, but then it looks like he can cut me

He doesn't really get many points, and I'm left with some thickness facing the outside, albeit with aji.
