It has been my experience that those who don't want to know the truth will not become enlightened to the truth when presented with the facts. More often than not, they've made up their mind and no amount of factual information is going to persuade them to see the light. If you are hoping to create a relationship with these folks, then I don’t know that putting forth the effort is going to be worth the return…as I said, people often don’t ‘switch sides’. However, if you’re just hoping to present the facts, without any preconceived expectations – a sort of ‘whatever happens, happens’ type situation – then you’ve got nothing to lose.
Set your expectations to a realistic level. Don’t set yourself up for more heartache and pain. Don’t continue to put yourself in a position to accept their verbal (even written) abuse.
