Life is about a struggle between order and chaos. Work to strengthen yourself as much as possible, to take on as much responsibility as possible. Become someone who can bring up those you love, the most reliable person at your father’s funeral, the person who helps renovate the new home of a friend who got out of an abusive marriage. Then when uncontrollable chaos beckons - the death of a loved one etc - you will have enough meaning in your life for that suffering to be bearable.

@pianoplayingsteve good answer but my situation is created by the people I love.
If I assert myself thennid be labelled as a monster.
It's just a loop

Ahhh, living your life for the approval of others.
And, it gets worse when the others are at odds with one another!
Decision #1 - Who will you live for? Yourself? Or others?
So far you decided to live for others - and it makes you unhappy.
Would you feel better if you were a happy monster?
