No matter what happens, just open your eyes and get going in the morning. The only way to move isn't up or down - there's only forward, and if you let yourself keep looking back, you're lost.
I agree with everyone else in that we can't really appreciate the emphasis that many Asian cultures place on taking care of your elders/family in general. If it's a more traditional family, the importance placed upon it is even higher, and even more difficult for you to seamlessly be involved in.
You did good in asking him not to keep checking up on you. Let yourself calm down, and once you're thinking a bit more clearly and less emotionally, then you may be able to have a real conversation with him later on down the line.
It hurts and it sucks....but him giving up now shows a lot about what it's going to be like in the future.
