I know I've posted about this many times, but does anyone have advice for dealing with "troubled" family members, other than just kinda becoming numb to their drama?

What do you mean by "troubled"?

Honestly, seperating yourself from them and their "situation" is what I would recommend. You need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Maybe look into joining group therapy or something like that too.

Without knowing exactly what you're talking about (although I'm guessing it's the same thing you've talked about in other threads) I would have to agree. I grew up with an abusive dad and a spineless mom. My brother sticks up for them completely.

I see my parents a few hours a year, haven't talked with my brother since '06. Best thing I ever did was stay away from them - I'm more sane than I ever thought I could be.
