I know exactly what you mean. I wanted the same things, and I kept trying to push things in the direction of honesty, hoping that would lead to me finally getting a bit of what I never had. Well, it never happened. They never changed, only I did.
I have no idea if your family is capable of changing or not, but I suggest you don't put anything on hold, waiting for them to do so.
Whether someone cuts ties with a toxic family or not is totally personal, and my guess is that regardless of your decision, you will have mixed results either way.
