My t told me that it is perfectly fine to limit interactions with toxic people regardless if they are family or not. No need to estrange yourself or abandon them but keep it to a minimum is perfectly fine. No shame in that.

Honestly I don't have anyone who is that difficult but I would have a huge trouble with family members staying with me for prolonged period of time. I can only tolerate my adult daughter staying with me for a vacation ( again not living full time but visiting). I love my nephews and my niece and they are easy to get along with. But if they come stay with me for weeks at the time I'd have trouble with it. It doesn't fit my life style. Now of course if they are homeless etc it's different
