I dunno man, I wish I could tell you something useful. All I can think of is maybe they're comfortable with the way things are now. I guess as much as parents want us to succeed, a part of them always wishes they have you close by and as part of the family just like when you were younger. Do you have brothers and sisters? Maybe they're just scared for you to strike out on your own again and get into more difficulties.
I don't think a lot of people either here on PB or in the wider world have a simple loving relationship with their parents. I was estranged from my mother for almost 2 decades, before I was able to see her as not evil incarnate but just another person with deep flaws. But I do know that fighting this illness requires every resource you can muster. You need your parents to support you unconditionally in these difficult times. You could just go "Lillies in the Fields" mode and tell them that you're their son and they OWE you everything they can give you, regardless of the circumstances.
