My partner (who is a therapy believer and has been doing it for over 15 years) also had to cut off her family contact and, although she grieves them, she believes she is much better off without the constant stress and re-inactments of childhood dynamics with them which kept her constantly off kilter. It was not easy, but she now feels better about herself.
Good luck to you - it seems like you have had a rough time recently.
