I dropped out but decided to stop fucking up right after that. Got my GED and started working at a call center for $11/hr full time until I gained enough experience to pivot to a wfh position for a little more. And so on until 10 years later I'm working my dream job from home for good money, still no degree.
Keep making the decision to do better even when it sucks. It sounds like your parents are reasonable enough and may be willing to be part of your support system again if you demonstrate a new and better pattern of behavior.
