Wow, you've tackled a lot in this one post. Well done! I've lived this dysfunctionality in my own household, so it hits home at a personal level.

I think you end it aptly. It will be take every woman to recognize her self-worth to want to end the cycle for herself and for the next generation, but it will also need her to work with changing the mindset with the men in her household. I see some changes in social messaging and ads where more parity in the relationship is shown. How that translates to the ground level is a different story altogether.
