To consider cutting contact with family members?

I have 3 family members who are utterly selfish people. I've just spent a few days with them over the Christmas period and I've come home feeling drained and annoyed at them. There are also issues around the treatment of an elderly vulnerable relative who is supposedly being cared for by 2 of these family members but what I've witnessed whilst staying there has left me uncomfortable and angry. Added to that, a lot of things they've said have left me feeling uncared for and as though I basically may as well not exist. My issue is, I have one family member who is lovely and I'm close to and she it not the same as these 3. If I cut contact with the 3, then I have only her in my life, no other family. Also, I have a teenage daughter who is very close to one of the 3 selfish people. I'm certain she will want to continue to maintain this relationship for her own reasons and this will complicate my decision to cut contact.

What would you do? Sorry if this message is jumbled and makes no sense, my head is all over the place after a very long drive home and lots of difficult emotions.

I forgot to add that one of these 3 is my only living parent, too. It makes me sad to think of having no parents at all in my life.
