  Thank you all for your wisdom and advice. I really don't know what the heck is gonna happen with these crazy people. Even my mom at this point is driving me bonkers. There was another huge blow out last night, and the police were nearly called.

  I spent hours on the phone with my mom, uncle, aunt, grandmother. Its like they all come to me (because Iam the only one in the family who uses logic), and look for my approval of their actions. I try to explain the other side to whoever I'm speaking with and just get yelled at for defending "that jerk" or that "crazy woman". lol. I want to stay out of it. It makes me angry that I'm 29 years old, and I have two people in their 50's arguing like children, looking for MY advice! I am not a lawyer, and I'm not God, I can't control my mother or my uncle's actions. They expect me to get through to the other person, I just can't stand being in the middle anymore. Today I woke up and almost called out of work because the anxiety is really affecting me physically.
  

  It seems you're playing the martyr a bit here too. If you don't want to be involved, don't.  

  Well....I think you would be stressed too if this stuff was going on with people you love. It's hard to pull away when it's your immediate family. I'm not talking about acquaintances or distant cousins. I'm talking about my mother. It's stressful. Also, it's still going on and I'm in the thick of it. Maybe in a week I'll feel better, and be less emotional about it. But right now it's pretty rough.
