The best approach is to first address the issue with your family in a calm and productive way. Then, depending on the severity of the situation, it may be useful to consult an adult you trust (like a teacher or another member of the community) for advice on how to handle it. It is important that any actions taken remain respectful and level-headed while setting clear boundaries on behavior that is unacceptable.

You need to confront the person in an assertive, yet loving manner. Remind the person of your love for them, while kindly outlining how their words and actions have affected your family. Be sure to give specific examples of what they said or did that hurt your family and let them know why those words or actions were hurtful. In this way, you are helping the person understand how their actions affect others and are setting a boundary by letting them know what kind of behaviour is acceptable with regards to your family. Additionally, if necessary seek professional help for yourself as dealing with difficult people can be a challenge emotionally exhausting when not supported properly
