Well this is weird

Weird situation and not sure what to do. Ex wife and I separated in October, finalized in February. I was trying to do everything for her and our daughter and suddenly everything ended, crushed me. I work in a career where dangerous things happen and I had a close call I was struggling to cope with and isolated because she never really was a support for me and that that week of isolation and depression was the catalyst for the divorce according to her. Fast forward and I've been working with a therapist and have been doing great on my own. I see my daughter nearly every day and have been much closer to my old self.

Now for the weird situation.

My family still treats her like family which I respect and expected. However, I have told them that she broke me and they are aware of the impact it all had on me. Everytime we have family things go on she gets invited and she continues to come around and act like nothing changed. We are very civil because I will not create animosity in front of our daughter but now I feel like I have to choose the family that raised me or my own happiness. Wondering if any of you guys have been in something similar. Hoping for some pointers on how you dealt with it. Thanks.
