I've an ongoing issue with some extended family who don't respect my wishes/boundaries. It's clear to me they are insulted I spoke up for myself. Spending zero time with them is not an option because of my child. Has anyone any advice on how I could put them out of my head, so that they don't affect me unless they are in the same room as me. Not really looking for advice on how to mend bridges, just how to stop the issue bothering me as we don't actually see each other too often. Thanks.

I would guess it's just a matter of adopting a front that whatever they say doesn't matter or affect you at all. If they pass a comment or ask an unwanted question then just look away and say whatever. Don't get into conversation or discussion either directly or indirectly. As you said, you are only there for your child.
