Refusing to resolve issues over email or text? Insisting to meet in-person?

Does anyone else experience this with their LC or NC family members? Context, I (40F) have attempted to resolve/fix the issues with my parents, younger sister and older brother multiple times with in-person meetings over a three year period. So it’s not like it’s been strictly text or emailing only. It came to a head when I finally told them I wouldn’t be having any contact with them until they agreed to stop trying to enforce a rule that I had to be supervised around my niece and nephews. I have two kids of my own (daughter, 5 and son, 8) and I have babysat my niece and nephews most of their lives. It appears that this rule regarding me having to be supervised around the kids is in retaliation after my husband and I set boundaries around COVID when the cases got too high and our kids were too young to be vaccinated (they refused to get vaccinated).

This was back in April of 2024 when I threw in the towel. I made it clear that I would reconsider having contact with them if they just dropped the charade (it was causing confusion for my kids and likely my niece and nephews). There have only been a few instances my dad tried to talk but insisted it had to be in-person. I insisted that they agree on dropping the supervision narrative. It went radio silent again. Now my sister wants to talk and I said unless you guys agree to not enforce this supervision gig I won’t talk to them.

She’s clearly upset because I am not budging. But I also am not willing to be around them when it is likely to get toxic fast and I think they all get a false sense of control when it’s in-person.
