To Respond or not to Respond???

I need to breathe a little with this short topic. About a year and some months ago my grand mother passed. I never really got a long with my cousins nor aunts and those people. So the day of my grandmothers burial, these people where all acting like we have been close for years on in, which we weren't. I think that my experiences in life have grown into a positive transition, it showed me the different choices that I was given. I made the choice to better myself and take care of mine. Now back to why I need an appropriate response. See this people waited until we buried my grandmother to act like chickens with their heads cut off. Acting like they have no sense whatsoever! So the whole thing was over a signature book. One that everyone signs to show that they came to support. I knew it was trouble when I over heard them talking about just taking it and not letting my mother have it. My mother is the baby out of her brothers and sisters. Ignorance rumbles loudly inside them, and my mother and I just hear the thunder coming. I had to embrace myself for what was lying ahead.
when I put the book in our car, my mothers sister started talking out of the side of her neck, saying I don't know who my childs' father is, I'm nothing but a whore and all this other stuff. So, I lashed out on her. She just continued on talking shit while sitting the parking lot. And yeah, I called her out, ready to beat the living shit out of her. And to no avail she only talked shit. I gave up and went inside of the funeral home.
I began to hear the others' start there shit with my mother. I became defensive. In my head all I can hear was, "stay calm, they aren't worth it." They kept on arguing with my mother, I just stood next to her, letting her know I'm here. If they feel froggy enough, I'm going to let the beast out. My mom just looked at me and asked me to give them the book. I said FUCK THAT! She said, just give it to them. This will be the last time that you will ever see them, if it takes them having it to stay out of our lives then so be it.
Now, everyone has one dumb ass cousin, who thinks that when she has a crowd of people to back her up she can whoop ass! I think not! So she thought it was ok to get in my face and threaten me with her words. I laughed and my mother, in between us, kept insisting she go to her mother before I whoop her ass. Calmly I kept telling her, go by your mother before you piss me off.
Again, now back to why I need an appropriate response; THis dumb bitch sends me a message letting me know she's not trying to cause any trouble. She wanted to know how we are doing?

Ha!

The one thing that I would say, like my mother told me. Always respect yourself enough to say that IT WAS STUPID. She taught me to get over things in this instinct me and my auntie had an argument and at he end of it she said what did it resolve.. Absoultley Nothing...She told me that if they ever came to shake m hand to shake their hand back because family is family no matter how much you dont like them. If hey try you try back. If they dont then you fall back. So I say respond and see what she has tro say.. dont bring up what happened just let it flow..hope this helps
