You can ignore them.

You can firmly and methodically engage them.

You can be codependent and let them abuse you.

I don't think there is any difference between ignoring them or engaging them. You can stick to facts or match their abuse. It doesn't matter because the result will be the same: you will be summarily dismissed and written off.

Whatever you do don't be codependent. That will do no one any good, least of all you.
