I'm so sorry to hear of your hurtful family situation. Know that the actions of others do NOT define YOU.
Meaning, if they choose to be distant, demeaning or
dissociative from you, that's THEIR choice---for whatever
reason--but YOU DON'T have to be affected by it.
Easier said than done, I understand. Yet, we only have
one life, a very, very precious life, and the way WE CHOOSE
to spend it depends on US. NO ONE ELSE. Period.
Do whatever you have to do to find happiness!!!
I can't stress this enough. My family are very
hurtful to me, too. And, my sisters have turned
their children against me---so I've lost 2 sisters
and 3 neices/nephews. I have no one except 10
darling pets: 8 cats, 1 dog and 1 pony and carriage.
(Which I drive down country roads and feel real nirvana!)
THEY give me abundant love, joy, PURPOSE, meaning,
and HAPPINESS! Plus, I do not feel alone, anymore.
Turn your attention to whatever elicits this kind
of meaning and happiness FOR YOU! It's out there!
FIND IT! And give yourself to it (rather than giving
IT to yourself)--- whatever IT is. Pets, art, music, friendships, writing, (pen your life, make a million dollars and buy a villa in Provence!) DO SOMETHING, anything to experience joy. And, I gurantee you will NOT care, one iota, how you son-in-law brainwashed your daughter against you or how the other two kids ignore you from abroad. You will not EXPECT anything from anyone(except those outlets that CAN and WILL give you sustenance, renewed energized outlook on life and pure JOY!)
Promise!

Try it. Start diverting your energies, and attitude,
towards those things or beings (pets, plants, people) who
do, can and WILL be there and come through for YOU. It's
very sad, I WELL know, when family turn their backs on us.
I felt depressed about my own family situation for years---
then I woke up, acquired all of my FURRY FAMILY and stopped
ALLOWING these ignorant, unkind, narrow-minded people to
influence, hurt and stymie my life ANY LONGER. And, they
don't and can't and won't ever hurt me, again.

The benefit? Renewed confidence, more energy, higher
creativity-- -in short: a happier, healthier LIFE!
L'chaim! ! ! Start living it, NOW!!
