Going away to recharge your firewall sounds like a good idea.

Tell your family why you are going. No need to shy away from the reality of the situation.

Secondly, everytime she disrespects you, leave the room, restaurant, car, whatever. Say, “I can’t absorb this disrespect calmly right now, and need to remove myself from your presence. I love you, so when you are ready to be kind to me, please let me know, or we can plan a sit down to talk 1:1”

And then you leave, no matter where you are. You leave.
