It sounds all too familiar to me. I help out my 18 year old brother, who is starting school, but have not done the same for my parents. An 18 year old has alot tougher time getting an apartment/car/tuition/job than an adult, and I got a little help in school too (though not from my parents) There is a huge need for teachers, and you don't have to have a certificate any more. While teachers don't make crap, they make enough to live on, and get decent insurance. Your parents don't have to waste away.
Stay in school, but treat it as a means to an end. Dont take classes that are fun, unless they are easy grades. Take business classes, or something that can help you get a good job. You can't take care of your parents forever, and they need to pull their act together themselves. Don't enable them to keep up the current bad situation. I'm not trying to sound harsh, just trying to offer some advice from someone who has been there. Take care of yourself, and let them learn to do the same. It will be better for everyone in the long run.
