FWIW There are reasons for bearing with such... an obvious example of going along with it for a time at least is to reprogram your own life, so that you won't expect yourself to be giving things you don't wanna give even when confronted with the most pathological situations. To kinda take stock of where you are and what you are willing to do and then going to the effort of holding the line, instead of just doing what you have always done, giving away the farm. So then you still get to do difficult/painful things but now they are to your own growth rather than as some footnote in someone else's story...
This instead of just abandoning the situation and trying to change your external world into something that you can accept means you don't have to treat yourself so badly... and then eventually, being plunged back into the same situation as before and hating your scripted role in it just as much as before and then trying to run away from it to get a better reality just like before.
