Advice that you probably don't need to hear, but might be useful to someone in a similar situation:
If you do cut family ties, try to do so without hurting anyone or burning any bridges. The outside view says you're likely to reconcile in 5-10 years, and that's a lot easier if you drifted apart than if you had a big cathartic fight.
I'll just vanish slowly, no fight intended.
I don't think fighting is worth it most of the times it occurs, do people disagree?
Strong agreement.
In one's personal life, fighting is occasionally better than no action at all, but (effectively) never the best action.
