Hi, I've been lurking here and trying to gain an idea of what I should do, but it's probably best that I just post and get your input.

TL;DR my family is toxic and I'm unsure how I should approach going NC

1 year ago I left the US to marry my husband in the EU and my family was not supportive in the least. I come from a very radical catholic family of 9 children and grew up being called "the forgotten child" (I'm kid #5). I was always very close to my family as family means a lot to me and always will, but since Trump (they're pro trump) and pope Francis (they're vehemently anti Francis despite being catholic) have been in seats of power, my family has become more and more radical and toxic.

My dad told me he wouldn't "listen to another word from my lying mouth no matter what ugly facial expressions I make to try to sway his opinion."

My sister told me that I looked sad every time I saw her and that I needed to break up with my SO because he was making me unhappy (he wasn't, she was the one making me sad because of her harsh words and judgment). She literally uninvited me from going to her house because she found out I had sex with him before marriage and said "you can't be that example to my kids").

My mom has made me pay multiple excessive bills with the blackmail that if I didn't, my phone line would be shut down (I transferred my phone line so it's ok now). She also called me an ungrateful child when I refused to pay the bill again (after I'd already paid it multiple times for prior months). She also told me that I am damning my soul, my husbands soul, and my future children's souls to hell when I got married out of the Catholic church (I married in a Christian church).

Then on my wedding day, my sister mentioned in the family chat "I think u/Butterfly_07 is getting married today." (she had a wedding invitation and I'd told her the day, so she knew). Then my mom changed the subject (in text) right away and everyone ignored my wedding. Afterwards when I made a post on Facebook with pics, they were insulted that I didn't tag everyone in my family (specifically my dad, but I honestly shouldn't have tagged any of them).

Anyway, my dad made a public post on social media before Thanksgiving this year saying that my husband is an internet stalker and that I was taken by Satan and am no longer the Jesus loving girl he once knew. My name was even in the post. I cried and was going to react, but decided not to because that's what he wants: a reaction to stir up drama.

Fast forward to tonight and my mom messaged me a sweet "Merry Christmas", but I'm unsure if I want to respond, block them, or tell them I'm blocking them before taking that action.

Should I just block them? Should I stay LC? I'm swaying towards NC, but don't know how to best approach that result.
