Other than that, I feel like such a wimp, but I really miss that damn cat. :X
Well, all you can really do now is show her the very Christian charity she failed to show you. It does little good to expend energy in a pity-party or negative thinking about your family. The best thing to do is to hoist yourself by your own petard and move on with life.
My own sister would not speak to me for many years after her own "revelation." There was not a chance I could change her mind; all I could do was sit and wait for her to come to her senses. She has now, though it took years. In the meantime, I expended not a minute lamenting the loss, as she rejected me.
It is cold and harsh, but if your family has rejected you, then if you respect them as people, you should respect their decision. Remove yourself from their lives, and get on with your own.
(I'm not saying that when it is dark and you're alone you won't have pangs of loss for what you had, as long as you keep that in perspective. What you had was good, what you have now served up to you is evil. Try to remember their good. They may become good people again. As long as you don't burn the bridge between you and them, or say things that you can not take back, you will be in a position to welcome them back to your arms if they come to their senses, not the other way around.)
