I'm so sorry you were stuck in the middle of two unyielding sets of assholes :( I remember when I had my very first (restaurant hostess) job, the GM told a story about a guy who started working for them and then every weekend he was scheduled, seemed to lose a grandparent. After four instances of this, the GM told him "man you gotta be running out of grandparents" and after that the guy was apparently there every weekend, but it stuck with me as a wildly asinine way to treat someone, and your professors' and family's reaction struck me much the same way. I'm sorry you had that.
(I didn't even realize I could ask for extensions. I overslept an exam once and showed up at the end of it in a flying panic and the TA just patted my shoulder, told me it was all right, and took me back to the department office to sit the exam right then. She was, and remained, my favorite TA, but not just for that.)
