Then I do keep telling her to stop shutting me out of her life. She does it anyway.
Of course she is, you are telling her what to do, she is showing you that she isn't going to. You pressure, she resists, she doesn't want to conform to your demands.
Swich roles for a moment, Someone you are fighting with, or don't particularly like is telling you what to do for them. Are you going to do it? Or are you going to try and upset them further?
Change a dynamic of the situation. Stop the fighting, see what happens.
Oh yeah, stop all relationship type stuff when you talk to her. All of it.
