...I also don't compare them to anyone who is fighting the good fight - this family seems to have just thrown in the collective towel, given up, won't try...etc. etc.

you're right - we all have our "thing" whether it's smoking or working or buggering bunnies, our cross to bear. I don't begrudge that, but, aren't you supposed to at least try?


eta - or at least LIE about trying to try- that would be the most common way.
