I can see why your son has his problems and he's been so hurtful, abusive to you. I just can't understand why your daughter would have no respect for you. You were being abused, that's not your fault. Yes you stayed, but he was controlling and you had no job, so he made it very hard for you to leave. This man abused you in many ways. Controlling all the finances is a form of abuse, because it leaves you so dependent on him. He did that to try to make it so that you couldn't leave. But your daughter, she was abused herself by this man, so why does she not understand your torment? I understand you've been put through enough, and you need to be free. They are in their 30s, they should have some common sense. They should understand that you were their good parent, the one that took care of them. They should be thankful for you.
