Complicated story,
I feel like I need to disengage my family
not so complicated
it was the holidays and by your account your family acted like assholes
leave them alone for awhile
focus on your husband and your child

consider getting in touch with your family in a couple of months
don't visit over the holidays - ever - it's pretty much a guaranteed stress disaster
__
your family is your husband (and child)
the other people are now extended family - and no one says you have to like or love your relatives - you didn't choose them - you chose your husband
your priority right now is to a good relationship with your husband to raise your child in
ignore those other grumps
