I'm sure the kids and Yogi's wife are very nice people. However, and not to be an asshole - but what did they expect after Yogi flipped?

Why didn't they move away like most other families do in that situation? I'm definitely NOT defending Joey extorting his own family, but why would they stay in an area that is the home base of a mafia family, of which their dad/husband became an informant against? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
