Glad you had a chance to get to Santa Barbara - I too love that area. Very peaceful if you will. Can understand about family as well, my parents are coming up this weekend, looking forward to it!
I can see you are totally exhausted with the sitc. If you are like me, then you are not sleeping - so both mentally and phsycally, you are beat.
You have every right to set boundaries, there is nothing wrong with that. I am sure this will help you detach.
Stay well,
