notdefined had some good words of advice. And as the later comment stated, you can always return to the workforce later if you feel up to it. I"m so sorry this issue has cropped up again.
One other thing really struck home with me: the quote about family "there are Jerry Springer levels of lying, thieving, homophobia, bigotry, closet cases, mental illness, addiction and more in the extended family, and both of us are glad to be far enough from it not to deal with it on a daily basis. Still, it creeps in over the phone, emails and text messages, and it makes stress levels go up"
You have just described Brian's family to a "T". I have eluded so some of this drama myself, but so much is left unsaid. I can really feel for you one this one...
