I had the exact opposite situation last year, when I contracted cancer, and had to move back in with my parents. That was really the only option, as my goof ball twenty something roommates can't really take care of you in the method required. So if I was in your situation, I would definitely move back to take care of my folks because they did the exact same thing for me. On the other hand....

Don't get into specifics if you don't want to, but what does that mean exactly? What did they give up for you? Is it just working to pay for school? Again, don't feel the need to talk about any of this to us, but it sounds like you feel your mom was a lousy parent growing up. They can't be both can they? Great parents who gave up everything, but also really bad ones?
I love my folks, but I have a lot of friends who have shitty parents. Various affairs, and addictions, and divorce, and just putting their own shit before their kids. And as I've grown older, I've realized; it's okay to write off your parents as losers at a certain point. I've had friends who finally had to cut ties, and they're much happier not always being pulled into shitstorms. It's a tough thing to do, and unthinkable when you're younger.
I guess that sounds really cold (especially in this context) but I've just seen people become so much happier when they finally get away from their retarded legacy. Having a child that you aren't prepared to raise isn't a unique event; It doesn't necessarily deserve to be rewarded.

Hey Rudie, how bout an update? Did you ever decide to move back to the states? How are your folks doing? How about you?
(Again, if it's too personal, just ignore me).
