I am always of the opinion that families matter a lot - even if they are somewhat cruel. Time usually changes people and it is better not to cut off family completely, but maybe just not get involved with persons who you don't like.
There are some relatives of mine who I absolutely can't stand to talk to, but I don't completely cut them off. In fact one of my aunt's whom I used to pretty much hate for many years, has turned around now, and has become quite sweet and sincere, and now I have reestablished my rapport with her. People learn with time, and families will come to your support when you need it in the worst of times. But just silently back off if you don't like them without really brushing them off.
