You've built a good thing, here, in spite of the shit. I'm proud of you. I am glad you have it. I am relieved you have it. I will fight like hell, refrain from fighting like hell, and/or knock you down to your ass when you need that pressure off because I want you to keep it.
Hell, I'll even provide shitty parenting advice.
But that's about as responsible as I can get: responsible for you being responsible for everyone else. .
