You can always strike it out on your own, with loans and a myriad of financial aids for your books, food, housing, etc. that currently, one doesn't need the expense of parents to go to college.

It just takes a bit of digging and question asking.

Truth be told that the path to happiness is never easy or without sacrifice, but there's more hope to finish than to endure without ever knowing what could be.

To be frank, it's their money, yes, but it's you who is going to school. It's your education and knowledge trumps all in life.

At some point in life, there will be paths that will take your further, but these you must travel alone, even without the support of those who can be everything to you.
