Those were the type of insurances a rented can't take out, only the homeowner (or the person who takes care of their business). Not that my uncle had mentioned that he cancelled them. We had to spend a lot of money getting the house livable again and the store had to be closed for almost two months because we had to clean and redecorate it ourselves.
If there had been less damage my father would have had more money up front to take on my uncle. Plus, my uncle took advantage of us being down, it's likely if the fire didn't happen, or the impact was less, that he would have waited with trying to sell until my grandmother died.
The will is my grandparents fault. They had told my parents they had put it down a certain way and they hadn't. I also blame my uncle for later, after my grandfather's dead and when my grandmother was in the first stages of dementia, influencing my grandmother to change the will to his advantage.
But, yeah, because I didn't wake up sooner everything is my fault.

You know, don't take this the wrong way, but maybe it's well past time that you find a completely different job and move out. I just don't see your situation EVER improving. In life, in dysfunctional families, we get assigned these "roles." We can never move out of them, no matter what. Someone is the family clown; someone else is the family black sheep, or The Failure. Someone is always "the Successful one."
I just don't see anything but more aggro and emotional abuse for you, to be honest. Why not move out, and let your family start to value what you provided?
