How to cope with family conflict as an adult?

I am almost 30 years old and my family seems to have this ongoing conflict amongst us. I truly feel as if they want me to be labeled as the 'black sheep' of the family but I feel there is no need for this. I love them all but can't deal with this anymore. They are really breaking my heart. Are there any self help books on dealing with conflict in families in adulthood that you may recommend?

Answer:
I tried to deal with almost the same situation. (I'm around the same age as you.) I've decided to cut the ties, and I only visit during holidays and birthdays. It was the best decision of my life.

Good luck.

if you want some real advise never read a self help book on anything and start to look at your family problems without getting emotional or offended and maybe you will see clearly where things are wrong.or who is wrong. a lot of times people are too involved in a situation for them to think or see clearly. also try and see it from others points of view. half the time me and my family have argued it has been me thinking i did nothing wrong and then thinking about it from the others point of view and me having to realize, "ok I was wrong" most people REFUSE to EVER admite they may be wrong.and thats what fuels these things

I know how you feel because i'm in the same situation you're in. I don't have any solution or an idea that might help you, but one thing I know, if there's anything than can help you to get through this, it's you and you alone. You have two options, either you tackle this on, or leave it be, per your convictions demand. If anything, i hope that you can be strong all throughout this problem.
