There is a very strong pattern there...of the women in your family...which you at your young age could benefit a lot from getting help with. You might just be able to break the cycle and pick a better man for yourself. This is very hard to see from your side, since you are used to being and admire others being strong and reliable and taking care of people and protecting them. You might try reading Codependent No More if you haven't already, to see if any of it resonates with you. You CAN have a different future but it will take some work on your part.
