 OK hon, just calm down, I don't wanna hear about you on the news or anything.  
Parents want to be there for their kids and there is a time when that changes.  I was close to my parents when I was young, then couldn't stand them for a while (my dad used to hit me until I started hitting back).  But once I moved out, we got along fine.  Now my mom is gone due to cancer and my dad is this frail old man that I try to help.  Life is weird.  Try to acept them for who they are (no matter how irritating that may be) at least they care about you.  There's a lot of people out there who's parents couldn't give a rat's ass what happened to their kids.  
They, on the other hand, have to learn to let go a bit (or a lot).  Try to talk to them about that, gently.  You're almost "officially" an adult.  They need to learn to let go.
I hope something I said made sense or helped.  You're one of my favorite people on this board and I am always willing to lend an ear, electronically or otherwise.  Take care VC.
Yes Posh, same goes to you.  :)
