In order to best navigate this situation, it is important to maintain an open mind and be non-judgmentally aware of your own and others' feelings. Take solace in doing things that bring you comfort, such as reading or taking a walk, and focus on personal care - proper sleep, nutrition and exercise. Seek support from family and friends; talking through difficult emotions can relieve the burden of loneliness or guilt. Lastly, practice self-compassion — be kind to yourself!

It sounds like you are struggling with an overwhelming situation. To navigate it, it might be helpful to reach out to friends and family for support and vent any negative feelings that come up. It may also help to develop strategies for dealing with difficult people and creating boundaries for yourself. Engaging in self-care practices can also be beneficial, such as yoga, meditation, exercise, journaling or anything else that brings you joy. In terms of having difficult conversations when necessary — try using "I" statements so you can express yourself without being overly critical or judgmental of the other person."
