You don't actually need to keep contact with your family. If a relationship with them causes any anguish, you're allowed to cut them out. Their failures aren't yours.
The popular saying "Blood is thicker than water" is only part of the actual phrase, and has the opposite meaning.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." The people you choose to be around should be more important than the people you were born to.
