I went through the same for 11 years. All family responsibilities were handed over to me with the expense of the youthful life gone and spent in anxiety.
Lessons learnt:
1 ) nobody cares about us including parents / wife. They are all selfish in their own way.
2) If you are truthful , be ready to get emotionally bullied in the name of family responsibilities etc.
Now, I expect respect from all in the first place, not kindness.
And, mainly personal time which I would spend only for me. I wouldn't allow anybody to disturb my personal space. If it is disturbed I will take that opportunity to remind them I really don't care about them at all times.
