How Should I Handle Family-Triggered Behaviour?

I feel distanced from my family, possibly for being different or not engaging in old patterns. After situations where I was excluded from family gatherings due to conspiracies against me, I felt abandonment but reached a deeper place inside. I feel more detached now and not contributing to their story, but how should I handle this situation? Rupert says: ‘You just make sure that you keep loving all the members of your family unconditionally, even if you’re not in a position to express it to them. Think of them as they truly are – not as they’re behaving, but as they truly are. Don’t react, don’t collude with their narrative. But don’t fight it, because that’s an inverted way of colluding with it. Use this as an opportunity just to feel more deeply the complete imperturbability of your being.’
