So Grandma from you dad's side is the only ally? Have you had a long sit-down with her to see if you could get more background? Are the others people capable of conversation and rational thought, or is there any possibility someone else has tainted your view, from childhood, of others within the family?
I would definitely stick with Grandma, though. All you need is one good family member. If there's no chance of working things out or if the rest of the family is that far off the deep end, that would be sad, but let them go. You can't fix them and they'll only drag you down.
