'Can I break away from my dysfunctional family at age 60?'

Sepia from NY, Atlantic Ocean -

I'm a 60 yrs old female. I'm sick and tired of the toxic people in my family. There are a lot of gossips, backstabbing, and resentment that have been accumulated for more than 60 yrs. History continue repeating itself and there is no attempt to compromise and move forward. Blaming and reliving the past is a way of live. I don't want to continue the rest of my life in that type of environment. Everybody suffers from depression and/or anxiety. It's a vicious cycle that I want to escape and start over far away from my family. Is it too late to start over? Am I selfish?

Thanks for your input.
