If it helps any, I have emotionally divorced my family while keeping in close contact with them. We get along a whole lot better now. It doesn't work with my father's anger because that's more a physical reaction. But with their combined insensitivity it's done wonders.
I don't know if I recommend it though. It just might be a dysfunctional way of coping. My therapist hasn't said what he thinks of it overall, as he seems to think any way at all of dealing with my family (short of cutting) is OK.
