I've found that treating family like normal people makes it pretty easy to end contact with them.

I love my dad, but he's right of Ghenghis Khan and rants when I call him, or has arguments with his wife while on the phone with me. Our conversations are about 3 times longer than they need to be. As a consequence I call him maybe 3 times a year and would usually (when I was still in Ohio) see him no more than twice a year.
My wife's family doesn't much like me and treats her like a 12 year old. So I don't visit with them. They start treating my wife like an adult and I'll give them my time.
I think were I in Will's position I'd have disowned myself from the family and they wouldn't hear from me ever.
