It sounds as if your family's attitude is like a brick wall. We cause ourselves the most pain in our lives by trying to knock down brick walls by butting them with our heads. In the end, it's probably better just to accept that the brick wall is there, that we wish it weren't there, but that there's nothing we can do about it.
The key to good family relationships is lowered expectations.
Just my own humble opinion and painful experience.
