So yeah. Boiling point.
The moment you just can't take ignorance any longer. Or malice. Or gaslighting. Or just general unkindness.
In that point, I think it is entirely fair to throw their bullshit at them.
Tell them not to whine when They are tired. Remind them that it is all in their mind when They are in pain. Poke at them at every possible time, just like they have done to you.
Or, if you want to be kind even when they aren't kind to you - distance yourself, stew in it for a while, and maybe make some good art from it. (totally not me *cough* *cough*)
I personally feel like when they get poked and prodded, they might just learn something...but if they don't - remember that it is OK to start over, choose your family, and you do not owe your life to anyone. You can take baby steps to safely remove yourself from toxic individuals, workplaces, and common people. There are resources to do that and save your energy to things you actually want to do.
It is hard, and it sucks how slow it is when you are poor, or between rock and a hard place. But at the least, VERY LEAST, know that it is not your fault. You do not deserve to be dismissed and ignored, treated unkindly and poorly. Never ever. No.
You deserve kindness and understanding in Every situation.
You might not get it, but hey - neither have those assholes.
Karma will be coming for them eventually. And I bet then they can't just grit their teeth and make it through like they keep telling they always do.
