Yes. At the very least, you do what you can. If they have reasonable expectations, meet them. Exceed them, if you must. But sometimes the life you want for yourself — the person you are, the person you become — isn't going to ever be what they expect.
If you do what you can to make them understand, but they still refuse, then you have to claim your life for yourself. You're the one who has to live with it.
If they can't see the person standing in front of them, then... sometimes, it's better not to look back.
Of course, a situation that dire is rare. Most families don't break apart like that.
