Conflict with sibling

I don't want to give away too much information.

A few years ago I had a row with my sister. It was just something that happened. It was frayed nerves from a stressful period and then I got cross one night.
Everything turned from that night onwards. She became extremely passive aggressive towards me. I remember trying to talk to her but she ignored me. I left it.

We are apart now. We haven't seen each other in years. I'm OK with the estrangement. However I think she is struggling. She's the one who implemented the estrangement. Her words and her actions to me in the years since then has been bad and often involving third parties, not to intervene or help but to shame me and embarrass me. Its been years of hate from her. At one point a few years ago, she was texting me a lot of abuse while demanding me to answer her and give her explanationw. I don't have deeper explanations for her. Her words were vile to me. The name calling to this day still continues. I'm at a loss as to what to do. I don't know how to achieve peace in this situation. She wants me to answer her but she also hates me and she didn't take anything on board before but she refuses to leave me alone too. I feel like this is something that I can't fix.
Will I engage with her and give her what she wants even though she regularly loves to give me degradory names like - 'fat cnt...small titted retard ....cck sucker...bitter b*tch'. I ignore her a lot of the time because I have nothing to say to her when she's like that.
I have her blocked and she doesn't have my number but she uses fake accounts and emails. Sometimes when it happens I see that sometimes it comes through in the middle of the night which tells me she can't sleep so I don't know if she's bipolar.

This person hates me and when she communicates with me, I get a sense it's for control where she doesn't want me to forget about her. Its not to repair the relationship but to give her answers.
Should I be giving her what she wants or should I be going to court for a protection order?

No - what you've describing is a very unhinged behaviour. No normal person will sit there in the middle of a night sending immature, vulgar abuse from a burner account.

What she does is harassment and you should get a protection order. If she wanted to talk she would ask for a talk, not call you a c-word in the middle of the night.

block and ignore

Block and ignore. Your safety is priority.. Not sure having any sort of contact is appropriate..

Hi this sounds quite similar to my sister, she has mental health issue but is in denial! she is so hostile and unkind but then in the next message can act like nothing hurtful was said! She is very self centred and controlling!! She also pretends with friends that she is so caring and mentions myself and mum in a nice light but doesn’t show us that same courtesy! I just can’t cope with the mind games!!
