You're perfect as you are. The sickness is in them, not you.
You've stopped dreaming, and you've started being. As it's Saturday Night, and nearing midnight, I'm calling in Dr. Frankenfurter to treat your family for the afflictions they suffer. While they're undergoing Transylvanian therapy, take comfort that even if your blood can't see how brave you were tonight, you've got plenty of us out here who salute your courage.
