If he says everything was horrible and will never get better, and you say not everything was completely horrible, and though we're facing hard times, things can get better for us...
who's right? It's really just perspective.
He's in the moment (where things are horrible), not looking to a future with you in it, and probably has a list of past regrets and resentments that is all he sees when he looks back right now.
How do you change somebody else's perspective? You don't. They do it.
You can change your own perpective: what you have gone through has made you stronger and wiser, you can focus on things you are grateful for in your present, and you can do things and plan things for your own personal future without him so that you have a wonderful, fulfilling life.
Fighting him over his perspective is pointless. It won't work, and it will keep you stuck in a bad place. Drop the rope, let go, live the wonderful life you can live.
