Why do you have to be financially responsible for them in such an extent you can't pursue your own goals in life? I think you shouldn't have to. Sit down with them and ask how they see their own future, and how they plan to cope after retiring. Tell them to what extent you can help and what not. Don't wait until you feel you have no other choice but to pay for everything just because they make poor choices
