Sounds like a good situation to connect with a therapist or coach. Talk to someone outside the family who can help you formulate a strategy.

It’s not all or nothing, and it’s not a forever problem. You can use the family business to launch into something more stable and healthy in a few years. Whether that’s education or career planning or just building a financial parachute, I promise you can start taking steps now that will leave you in a better place in the future.

The people of Iran deserve justice.

Who is the “they” in this sentence? International aid workers?

All language is a fundamentally incomprehensible illusion of communication, and people have thought that for a while.

Keep protesting for the people of Iran. These brave people deserve justice!
