What abusers do is nothing at all that their victims deserve. Do not allow yourself to believe that you "deserve" to be abused or mistreated. You deserve support and love, but sadly, it seems like trying to understand your family (in the past and now) is a fruitless exercise. All you can do is move on and move forward, and try to exorcise their negativity from your life. It is THEY who do not deserve you, my dear.
I am so sorry for all you and Rich are going through. It's all very scary and exhausting when the ones we love are caught in the whirlwind of a debilitating illness. You are his rock and his shining star... you are his everything. And you are doing the work of angels. I am sending you big hugs, and hopes and prayers for strength, for healing, and for a better tomorrow. Hang in there, honey. We are here when you need to vent.
