Resentment towards parents for treating medication like the end-all-be-all of your problems

I(23F) have been feeling some resentment towards my parents for the past 1.5 years because I feel like they never took the time to actually learn (and help me learn) about my ADHD diagnosis. I went to a prep school for 10 years, so when it was brought up by my school that I may have had it (at age 14), they got me tested and started medicating me so that I would do better in school. All I ever ended up learning about ADHD was that it affected my academic performance and so I 'needed' the meds to do well in school. Now, I'm 23, realizing I have a slew of other issues related to ADHD, and being told by several doctors that they'll probably have to stop prescribing me meds once I get out of school. I'm resentful towards my parents because I feel like they put me on a course of meds without ever thinking about or talking to me about what the end goal was, what my trajectory for coping would be as a young adult, and what other problems I have related to ADHD that have nothing to do with school. Obviously I'm an adult now and it's my issue, so I'm trying to learn as best I can, but I feel like my family wasn't really invested in supporting me other than making sure I got good academic results.
