Even when staying to support him means letting yourself down? Why on earth would they wish that on you? One possible answer would be then they'd have to support him.
I was fortunate - my in-laws saw it for what it was; though my BIL, bless his heart, did give a big sigh and say I sure wish you could put up with it. LOL
Lean on those who are there to support you in what is best for YOU. It's not an easy thing to do alone.
