You could try staying in touch with your siblings but simply refusing to discuss your mother or the family dysfunction... focusing on the positive and keeping things light.

This strategy will take a lot of assertiveness. You probably know already if you are easily drawn into conversations you don't want to have, or not. It also means detaching so you aren't trying to get sympathy and support from people who have none to give you.

Find some meetings?
