I have learned not to get hurt by some people over time. They still send their wishes for my b-day and for the Hollidays, I read it sometimes, sometimes it goes right in the trash can. If I feel the least bit vulnerable I choose to protect myself and throw it away.
You could ask a friend to look in the enveloppe for you and give you what's in it (money, lottery tickets, whatever you could have use of), and then to throw the rest away. It takes time, but you need to protect yourself from more hurt from them. If not reading what they send is what it takes, then it'll be your way of talking better care of yourself. Be good to yourself, do for yourself what you would like a benevolent person do for you.
I hope you find a way to stop the hurt, but again, it takes time, especially when it comes to family members.
