Sounds like you have a family as loving as mine. I'm going to college to study Computer Science in August, and I'm getting a job as a network assistant, and my dad still insists on getting a "specialist" (read: wallet drain) to verify that our printer driver is freezing our computer, even though I and Microsoft have told him so many times. My parents have no confidence in my ability to think for myself, and it's frankly annoying.
It is not over, it is just the end.
Every end is a new beginning.
