They have gone behind my back to talk one of my professors, and TWO of my past employers, when I has having some issues.   They have also contacted a past friend and someone I dated.
If I would've chosen to attend a school outside my city, they would've not assisted in paying my tuition.
Last spring, they told me "I wasn't ready" to attend grad school out of town, and I'm almost in my mid twenties. The only reason why I stayed home was because I grew to like my school.
In the past, my mom has tried to hook me up with some of her students, because her and my father do not trust the people I pick to hang out with or date. 
There was many more stuff that happened, I just can't remember it right now.
They have not lighten up a bit, so now I just don't say much about what's going on in my life. If they continue to probe, I just lie.

I am sorry if this seems a little insensitive but you are an adult and you could move away. There are ways of paying for grad school other than mom and dad.
They'll get over it...someday.
