I hate my PhD supervisors. Is it worth even continuing?

Their feedback is always too broad for any real application, they're, at best, indifferent about me continuing my studies after severe extenuating circumstances (worsening of my physical and mental health, the passing of my mother after a long battle with cancer, my wife being diagnosed and treated for autoimmune disease, and more) and they go out of their way to passive-aggressively make me feel like I don't work (every conversation with them starts with "as we've already told you" even when they haven't told me, they don't believe in any form or shape of encouragement and have never said a single positive thing about me or my work, they constantly ask if I'm still interested in continuing my PhD even though I've been meeting my deadlines, etc). More than that, they actually recommended  that I quit my part time job so I can focus more on my PhD, even though all they ever tell me is that I'm falling behind with no actual advice to fix things. They are purposefully opaque and honestly might as well be magic 8 balls at this point, randomly answering my questions and serious concerns haphazardly. Further, they are charging a premium because I'm an international student, and I am being charged literally the highest possible cost for my PhD (the bench fees are absolutely ridiculous for a non-lab based PhD). I have a professional doctorate degree and a masters degree already, and received them both with honors. I've never had any problems with anything coursework related before this horrible, horrible experience. 

I'm at the end of my first year, and may or may not pass my first year. But I'm wondering: if I even do pass, should I even continue? Best case scenario is 3 more years of suffering, then a PhD so I can get a teaching job that pays less than my current consulting job but that I'm passionate about. Worst case scenario is I fail the final viva and lose some very serious time and money.

Anyway, rant and questions over. Thanks for reading, appreciate any thoughts.

Quit. Reading your post it is very hard to tell where the actual problem lies, but it doesn’t matter. Whether it is you or it is them, you are miserable and it sounds like you don’t even want what you will get when you finish. Unless I’m missing something, the decision seems easy.

That said, you admit that there have been serious impediments to your progress this year, but blame your advisors for telling you that you aren’t making enough progress. Honestly, you sound like someone who blames everyone else for their problems. It has been a rough year for everyone. You might want to take a step back and reassess the situation before you make your decision.
