Well, the problem is, whether we support you or not, it is their decision, as it is their house and as long as you are living there, you need to follow their rules. Perhaps you can get a part time job to pay for a place by yourself or with friends for the summer. The other option is to wait a while for things to cool down, then try talking to them. Maybe there's some compromise you can work out with them. Maybe they can let you stay out in exchange for extra work around the house. Maybe you can offer to carry a beeper (pager) or phone with you so that they can reach you if they want and so they know you can call them if you need.
Make it clear that you understand your concerns, don't argue with them, but instead ask if you can reach some type of compromise that you can both deal with. If not, well, you'll be back at school soon, so just deal with it for a few months and when you get back to school, see about work on or off campus for a few hours / week, save every penny, don't spend any of it, and then next summer you should have enough saved up for a place for a few months so that you can make your own rules.
