No Albo, I'm not looking for a defense of why your parents stay in. I know why. You pretty much asked, originally, why people stayed in as long as they did and I answered you. I'll re answer you here too. "Codependent people do not see the red flags that others would normally flee from." (Were we drug dependent, codependent losers back then at the start of the family? YES we were.) There, that's a bit of pshychology for you to chew on. Perhaps now you can pray for your parent's enlightenment, you Vandari demon you - hee hee.
As for giving to your parents, it was a long, long, long, long time ago; like late 70's - early 80's maybe, so I guess I did feed an clothe you a bit after all.
