Why don’t you consider using those web design skills to find a job near an affordable school you’d like to attend in another state, work for two years to save up and gain financial independence from your parents, then go to college? Yes, you’d be a couple years older, but that would seem to take care of a lot of the financial issues you’re facing.

My parents were also unwilling to fill out financial aid forms even though our family was huge. It really constrained where I was able to look for college, but fortunately we lived in California and the UC system back then was cheap. I still worked 20-40 hours a week throughout college, and it took six years, but it worked.
