:/ That sucks.
I don't even know what's happening with the extended family. My mother is so ashamed of me, she's basically banned me from ever seeing any of them again. Any time I bring it up, she gets completely irrational tries to guilt me, saying that I would somehow cause my grandfather to have a heart attack and die. I don't even know how to respond to that level of crazy.
And that's not even the worst thing that's been going on. My father was so bad, I've had to cut all communication with him.
