I just tried to do some research on CIDP and there actually is not a lot to find. Sorry your family is not more supportive.
I am pasting this from WebMD below to that readers know what CIDP is. Even in their description, it sounds like most people improve but it takes longer. I hope you improve with more time.
take care,

Introduction CIDP is sometimes thought of as the chronic form of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), the most common form of Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS), in the United States and Europe. In contrast to GBS, most patients with CIDP cannot identify a preceding viral or infectious illness. GBS is a subacute disorder that progresses over 3-4 weeks, then plateaus and usually improves over months and does not recur. CIDP, by definition has ongoing symptoms for over 8 weeks and usually does not improve unless ongoing treatment is given.
