When family is involved, and they go crazy, or stupid, or act out, I reach for David Sedaris, & re-read something like "Me Talk Pretty One Day," or others in his stockpile. After reading, my emotional burden is lighter, and as I wipe away the tears, I'm better prepared for the next day (what doesn't kill you makes you stronger).

Oh I love David Sedaris so much. In fact, I thought of his essay "Now We Are Five," as I traveled back east to face the loss of my brother. Sedaris is exactly my age and has the same kind of family and so many similar feelings about his siblings. Reading him always leaves me in a better place.
