do you even have to explain yourself to someone who never listens?

Our family GAP has gone too far.. and i don't know what to do anymore. we've been having problems with this family member so we thought of just moving away from her. this person never listens to any explanations and she only wants to believe what she wants.. so we thought, confrontation would never really help. my mom is old and she doesn't deserve this situation at all. all she could do is ignore this family member but she never stops talking and saying things that hurt all of us.
we never talk back, we just decided to leave. now she thinks all of us are against her. she doesn't understand that the reason why we left is to avoid friction and hurtful discussions. we don't really want to hurt her feelings, but no matter what we do, she takes it against us..we are giving her space to think about things. but she keeps haunting us with her words. she never stops..
we dont know what to do with her anymore. :(

I think that if she already thinks that ya'll are against her (even if you're not) you might want to have a heart to heart with her. If things are as bad as you say they are then having the conversation about her behavior shouldn't make things much worse. I hope that things get better.

we tried so many times in different ocassions.
this happens often, just like a routine to her.
you know, she gets so mad at everyone and when she feels better, she expects us to just let it go.
we have probably reached the end of our rope, this time she has gone too far.
everytime we had heart to heart talk, she's been so difficult. she yells and it's embarrassing in the neighborhood.
we are trying to have another heart to heart, but my brother thinks it's not a good idea for my mom coz she is so depressed and she has a heart problem.
we don't want to make things worse.
THANK YOU for at lest hoping things get better..

I wish that things were not so difficult. People with the mental illness bi polar sometimes act like the way your family member is acting. The reason I know this, is because I myself have bi polar. I hope everything works out for ya'll.
