More thoughts on this, what if you decided to be first completely focused on you? I'm just brainstorming here, what if you pulled in all the support you can think of for -you-? Because you sound beyond fried, burnt out, in deep need of some support and lovin' and time for you first. You are in a situation that would test the patience of a thousand saints.

Sometimes, even though I know about a bad situation, and could probably do something to help rectify it, I have to still walk away, for my own sanity and ability to survive.

If you do go the guardianship route, are there more resources you can call in so you don't get abused and emotionally battered anymore?

Along the brainstorming idea, if you could do anything in the world, what would it be?
