You will never be enough no matter what you do. At best, they will make backhanded compliments or just ignore you.
The most important things to realize:
Recognizing the darkness in yourself allows you to see it very clearly in others. A narcissist is consumed with darkness. That is: deceit, sadism, and ego.

They enjoy hurting you.
The family's “in group” do not have intimate relationships. They are transactional and look down on each other. In other words, you aren't missing anything.
In that sense, acceptance is strongly related to building awareness.

They don't love you.
You’ll know you've reached full acceptance when you receive a hoover and send it straight to spam/trash without an emotional reaction, or a second thought about it.
You don't owe them anything.
What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?
When you recognize your own darkness, you will see it in them, and see them for who they actually are as people. Then it will become easy to drop them from your life.
Your life is better in every single way without them.
