I'm a dropout too- a high school dropout- I have a GED... I also got my master's degree at 21... I'm still quietly rebellious, but I realize I'm totally responsible for my own well-being and happiness- I'm not dependent on parents or lovers or whatever to pay for my lifestyle; so there's no one I am responsible to except myself.
If you're living at the mercy of someone else, then the first step is to become independent- until then I think you do own your benefactor an honest accounting of your plans and expected milestones... otherwise though, there is always the clear answer "I'm taking care of myself and not harming anyone, I'm living the way that makes me happy, so what's wrong with you that you can't accept that?"
