38 Married, three kids. Wife has DiD. Never know who will be there. Oldest is 16, selfish, neuritic bi-product of his mom. Youngest is 8. Autistic, she babies him. Never know what will set him off. One minute all is fine, the next, he wants to die and we have to restrain him From running out to the road to to kill himself.
My daughter,  she’s 10. My  Wife was afraid she would do to her what abuse her mom put her through so she had a hard time bonding with her.
So I did ,and she is the most beautiful thing in the world. And the thing that has kept me from blowing my brains out for the last ten years.
But they got to her. All of their mental illnesses have made her angry, bitter Having to be around it all. Being put last because she doesn’t need special attention.
My ray of light is dimming. It cant happen. I don’t know what I can do.

My only suggestion would be don’t take shit from anyone, and start throwing your weight around, pointing out when people cause problems, demanding they stop and adjust their ways, and then imposing yourself upon the environment, if needed, to control it into the best you can make of it.
Sometimes you have to go apeshit and flip the fuck out on people (for the right reasons only!) before they’ll wake up and realize how important it is for them to alter their methods.
