Unfortunately you are a long ay off being able to support yourself via freelance work, but even ith a 40 hour a week job you can study and develop your skills. It just takes balls and determination. Im a single father, I take care of my daughter from 7am, to 7pm everyday, then sketch from 7pm to 3am, every night because thats what it takes. You can do it, if you're hungry enough for it.
In regards to explaining it to your parents, while I dont have any articles, explain that you're effectively a tradesman, or a contractor, people do not pay you for academia, they pay you for a service, and they only care if they get hat they pay for just like building, just like carpentry, its a much easier analogy to explain.
