What would you do?

I know this looks awful but here goes. I'm studying a pretty intensive health related degree. I graduate this year and I want to go on and study for a doctorate which would then enable me to work in hospitals and teach. To get around my financing of this course and to be able to live I told a lie to my family (we've always been distant and the relationship has never been a warm one, and they are snobby. So I said I had some top notch job to go to which I haven't. I was basically playing on their ego a little bit. They like to brag about a member of the family going to a top notch stablishment, although we never speak. If I had said I was going to an average place to do a doctorate I know from experience they would not have provided me with financial support. They like to control and dictate, so I use that by playing to their snobbery to get the financial support I need. I'm going to have to break it to them that I don't have a job to goto but I want to do a doctorate and I would like them to help me finance it. They can easily afford it. I'm not eligible for loans or other funding I have throughly researched other options. I really need the finance from my family. What would you do?
