I have an Aunt who i used to be close with cause i thought she was a fun person to talk to. Shes into art and stuff like that.

She was nice for awhile but then started getting weird to me, being quiet, not responding....
She started writing me emails putting me down, saying i'm not a hard worker,etc When I sent photos of myself and friends from birthdays or just to be friendly She never responds.

She also started writing emails telling me to tell my mother certain things instead of her calling her herself. I was acting like a messenger..I got upset and told her can you call her cause im really busy with work.

She then sent me an email asking if me and my mom and my sisters can stop by her place. I just wrote back saying im sorry but im very busy and call my mother to see if shes available.

Ever since then shes been sending me emails like a mailing list thing but i feel its to get my attention. I just never respond.

Now she sent an email asking me if I saw the Johnny Cash movie cause she says she just saw it and knows i love johnny cash. And then she says i hope your doing well with your job, love life and everything.

I feel like shes being nosey and thinks i might give her info

I really want her to leave me alone, I thought by not responding she would stop but shes continuing. Should I just write back a short email or should I just continue to not respond?

If this were me, I would first slowly continue to withdraw from responding. Though honestly, some people can never take a hint. Maybe if you tell her to call instead of E-Mail because you never check it, it could be better.
If she is not really into the phone it could work, but of course you could end up with her calling you constantly. But with the phone, if you have caller ID, you could just choose to ignore it most of the time until hopefully she tones it down some and maybe at some point you two will have more comfortable, short conversations.

anyway to divert her email address to the junk mail folder? that way you'll still get her emails, but can read them at your leasure.
