Not only that we care a lot, but then you also have your vision, and this is one thing to hold onto. Although yes, you are being mauled by almost everyone, that doesn't mean you have to conform... and I think you are already doing a good job
Now, I am glad that my parents are very supportive of me, because all she really wanted was for me to get into good schools and keep on passing and all that... which I have done.. and now she is actually spoiling me... LOL. Anyway, you can try to write a letter, or whatever, try to be extra caring or romantic to them, it usually works, when you just say, "I love you". It makes their day even though they are mad at you, or just plain irritated. You are their son, and I am sure whatever happens, they will be there... even if not today... they will understand
