The most important things to realize:
You don't owe them anything.
The family's “in group” do not have intimate relationships. They are transactional and look down on each other. In other words, you aren't missing anything.
Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?
You will never be enough no matter what you do. At best, they will make backhanded compliments or just ignore you.
In that sense, acceptance is strongly related to building awareness.
They don't love you.

Your life is better in every single way without them.
You’ll know you've reached full acceptance when you receive a hoover and send it straight to spam/trash without an emotional reaction, or a second thought about it.
They enjoy hurting you.

When you recognize your own darkness, you will see it in them, and see them for who they actually are as people. Then it will become easy to drop them from your life.
Recognizing the darkness in yourself allows you to see it very clearly in others. A narcissist is consumed with darkness. That is: deceit, sadism, and ego.
