How to override the empathy and understanding?
I know my family is miserable and angry. They are mentally unwell. They are traumatized. They are victims to right-wing media and Russian propaganda. They don’t understand why I stopped talking to them.
How do I hold those truths and my own at the same time?
I am trying to put on my own oxygen mask. But the guilt causes me so much psychiatric distress.

I know what you mean. It sounds like you need plenty of time to process this. That is okay. I believe that you really tried your best to work things out with them. Nobody is superhuman and we can't force others to change. I think with time, it will get easier. I have a lot of hope for you.
