After the long talk with W's cousin, and my Sister today, I feel like I can (and will) detach from what is happening with them and focus more on myself, and what is needed to improve my personal situation.
It has taken me a while to realise this, but I somehow I feel relieved that I have accepted it as of 2pm today, on my birthday. I may finally get a good nights sleep tonight.
Thanks for the advice.
