Forced to be a provider by my parents

I'm (M32 ENTP) struggling to understand the logic that I have to take responsibility for my parents mistakes and become a provider to them because in the past they made some bad choices and took wrong turns without asking for my views, totally ignoring my warnings and "my prophecies" has since been true (never been worse to be right). Now I'm their only "hope" and relies on me for the rest of their life (they're jobless and has used up their retirement money).

I'm furious, I always say things that might hurt their feelings like "you never asked for my opinion at least once yall's life wont be miserable like today" or "yall gotta face the music dont expect me to come and rescue you", but thanks to my Fe (probably), I can't stop thinking about their wellbeing and I bought them food, transferred them some money and buy them new things (I have a high paying income thankfully)

But the satan part of me keeps whispering, "why should you be responsible for their mistakes" or "you're now less flexible because you gotta provide for your parents now that they're penniless because they won't listen to your advices" and some other bad things I said (that should not be said).

I feel so trapped, and I'm stuck with a 9-6 job and I'm now less flexible than before this whole incident. I was more into freelance kind of jobs, and I hop jobs more often than most people (but it also requires me to go through those income-less periods) and I no longer able to do that.

I'm asking for everyone's advice here because i feel like pulling out the plugs and stop all the fundings because it's not my fault
