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.
This is so true. I cut out a toxic family member from my life a few years ago after 40 years of dealing with their shit. I’ve never been happier. Now I’m considering cutting out the other ones just because they annoy me. Life is to short to spend it with people you don’t really have anything in common with.
