Circumstances happen to everyone...ive suffered myself in countless ways since 1991...I know all about it.. Do what you can to help them and if youre not born again ask God for His holy spirit...there is hope...there will be a new world..

You do not need to suffer at all. Read the Book of 1 Peter in the Bible and it will explain to you the purpose of suffereing and the benefits that God brings. 1 Peter 1:6 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"
The problem you face is that you are seeking after happiness where God wants you to seek after joy. Happiness is based on what happens, and so because what is happening in your life is not what you want to happen you have no happiness. God teaches that joy in your heart is what you need and it is not touched by what happens.
2 Corinthins 7:4 "I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction".
2 Cor 8:2 that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed
1 Thess 1:6 You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross
James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
John 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

umm, sorry I don't mean to sound rude but aren't you being a little selfish. you stated that your mom and dad are ill and all your worried about is yourself?
Don't get me wrong we have to think of ourselves from time to time, there is no shame in that. but have you given thought of what your parents are going through, have been through. Life is full of opposites, if we didn't have Pain and suffering, we wouldn't have joy and comfort. if joy and comfort was all we had, we couldn't feel it because we wouldn't know it, we'd be do used to it, that the good feelings would be worthless. you'll make it through your sufferings as long as you remain strong, otherwise, you could just make it worse for yourself by being selfish.

God doesn't give suffering. That's just something that goes with experiencing a physical existence. We are spiritual beings experiencing a physical existence.

Allah is testing you and purifying your souls. You should be happy; you know prophets suffered the most, then the most religious people after them and so on. The more you suffer, the better person you are.
Be patient, one day you will be rewarded for it all.

No and yes, this depends on your knowledge and your attitude towards life.
There are street children who become billionaires and claim that they are happy.
There are princes say that they are unhappy with the quarelling of their wives.
God never promises to drop down happiness; but He promises that we should seek and find. He creates us as rational beings, which means that we must learn from His divine Teachers.

Suffering to you? What about your parents? They're the sick ones here! Don't be so selfish!

People get old and sick. Not only happening to you.
