DHs aunt is batshit crazy

So, when me and DH were engaged his aunt sent him a letter telling him all the "reasons" he shouldn't marry me. Things like "being together a certain length of time doesn't mean you need to be married," and "don't you want to graduate college first," and "she doesn't work, Shea not contributing to the relationship," and several other things. So like any normal person DH was super pissed. He wrote her a well written email refuting all of her "reasons," and stood up for me and our relationship. He also told her not to come to the wedding.
Fast forward to when I'm pregnant with our son. DH reaches out to her. Texts her and sees how she is doing. Doesn't mention the letter. And neither does she. So we all thought everything was fine. We sent her a graduation announcement. And she sent him a card and some gift cards.
Fast forward to today. Her and her family (husband and two kids) are in town from Connecticut. We called this morning to see when his aunts family would be there so we wouldn't miss them. And then we go over and his aunt isn't there.
APPARENTLY his aunt thought that I sent the email 2.5 years ago. So she is SUPER pissed at me. Mind you, not a single person knew this. Not even her husband. So she left the house because she didn't think she could "be in the same room" as me.
So his aunt has apparently been harboring unwarranted hatred towards me for no reason. I had nothing to do with the email DH wrote. I'm not even sure what it said. We all thought this was over and done with. Apparently its not. Apparently she hates me SO much that she would rather not see me than see her nephew or great nephew.
Seriously? What the actual fuck?
TL;DR DH's aunt is batshit crazy.

Re: DHs aunt is batshit crazy
sounds to me like you guys are better off without her and her drama in your lives.

@jessah127 sorry about your brother. And sorry your aunt is so awful. DHs family is just weird and have a lot issues. His mom is a drug addict. But even she is more respectful towards DH than his aunt was today.
You are better off cutting her out of your life at this point.
I'm sorry you're dealing with it, but it sounds like you're much better off. It sucks when family has to act that way.
Yep. Batshit. Cut her off. You don't want her in your life or the kids' lives anyway. The cost/benefit is lopsided.
DNA means nothing. Family doesn't act like that.
