I completely removed myself from my family around 5 years ago. I even moved across the country so I didn't have to bump into them. In my case it was VERY much needed so I could get my sanity as well as my health back.
It's up to you what you think is best for you. If distancing yourself via moving some hours away will help then do it. You can always visit during holidays or even get one of those computer cameras and have regular family meetings.
I wouldn't say 'burn the bridge' until you have another support team ready, however. If things go terribly wrong with something in your life and you're without support then you certainly don't want to crawl back to the family you distanced yourself from.
Definitely make sure your Financial, Health, Friends and
new Family support areas have at least one or two things/people/groups in it that you can reasonably depend on.
