Would you be able to give some examples of what the spiritual abuse was? You are not obligated to them in any way. You even said it yourself when you stated that they feel justified in their behavior...that indicates there is no room for involvement with them if they are unrepentant. Continuing a relationship with those people is perpetuating your abuse and perhaps even sending the message that what they do is okay. You need healing. There is no need to suffer self-inflicted pain by cutting your wounds even deeper through revisiting what is still painful for you. Maybe there is some chance of speaking the truth to these people and opening their eyes. Have you tried that in the past? The Bible does call us to judge our fellow Christians righteously. I think the priority for you right now is healing, even if there is a chance to be a witness to them and reconciliation to occur, now may not be the time. Your healing is important so you can help to heal others. You don't even have to keep sporadic communication with them.
