A good day turned bad

General
So I had a fun day at a event 
ThePoetryNinja held at MOA for dueling.. I came home, as I usually do, to have my parents over and such, since they come by and see me Sunday Nights.
Well.. things went bad... they sat me down telling me alot of stuff, such as the comments directly aimed at trying to get me out of the furry fandom that I should live a real life and not a fantasy one, mind you I do ALOT of other stuff outside the fandom and suggested I see a psychologist.
Also they pressed several times if I had something I was hiding, which I lied to them since the tone of the conversation was one that there was no way I was gonna tell them about my boyfriend, I have a feeling they might have suspicions about it.. They told me I should try and go and date and get a girlfriend..
All in all the conversation was nerve-wracking, right now im upset and worried about my future...
I need to vent but I'm just unsure now how im gonna get through the rest of today and tommorrow after something like this.. and my plans for the future with my boyfriend are shot, I just.. dunno

Love You forever and alwaysCompare it to Star Trek/Star Wars/etc, because let's be honest, the fursuiting is quite similar to walking around in some goofy suit based on a TV series, movie, or any character whatsoever.
And the fandom is largely about art. Art, fursuits, anthropomorphic animals, really. Nothing to be ashamed of and your parents should realize this.
I love the 'living in a fantasy world' idea - I mean seriously - that's what people told me when I said i wanted to be an Engineer - too bad that's what I do now - it's not about 'fantasies' as much as it is about your desire, your dreams, your aspirations - and who are they to decide what those should be?
My parents can't even stand my batman motorcycle suit - even though it's awesome - so there is no way I'll tell them about the fursuiting - so fear not - you aren't alone in this - and we are all here to pull each other thru it!
