Does blocking or Deleting Users in Group Text Work?

I see you cannot, for some amazing reason, leave a group conversation when there is Android users in it. If I block all of them, I'm guessing this is the work around besides 'You have to delete it every time it pops up and turn off Alerts'. Because being Group-Locked into my former wife's family chat, that text EVERYDAY so I get multiple messages despite ALERTS being off in my texts, is causing me great mental distress. I am no longer a part of this chat, I do not engage in it, and being forced to delete the messages every time they come up is ridiculous. There needs to be a better solution then what is currently in place, besides getting a new phone number as well. I imagine this has happened to a mass amount of Users in America, which has put them in great mental distress as well and may even be the cause of suicides around the country. How come you cannot leave? What in the programming doesn't mesh where you can't leave? And why hasn't there been a solution around this? Because Apple is basically forcing people to remain in conversations that they DO NOT want to be in, if something so simple as another phone User won't allow you to leave a conversation, then I don't need to be buying Apple anymore with all the billions of dollars this company has and won't even find a solution to a very common problem.

Apple allows you to leave a group imessage of 3 or more people.

Why not ask the person who started the group thread to create a new one and omit you from it.

Pretty simple request.
