You can talk to your family and if they dont listen you can contact someone to help you out like another relative, a close friend and if it is really bad, the police.

You can talk with them, tell them how you feel about it. You need to express your feelings, they are your family, the must understand you.

You can't fix people, but you can try to help change their behaviour if it's upsetting. Try telling them that you feel upset by ____. Ask them to sit down together and bring forth these points. Sometimes people aren't aware how they are affecting another person. If it's intentional, let them know how you feel. When you talk to them, don't use accusations. Begin with, "I feel upset when ________." Using accusations may cause bickering and anger. Be completely honest. If things don't seem to get better, you could seek help of a counselor and get professional advice regarding the situation.

You can not fix, families are so each has its way. What you can do is talk to them about how you are feeling and whether you do not like how they are being.
But remember you can not fix family

Try to talk to them about your aspirations and highlight the facts that makes you uncomfortable. this might help them to know your stance and might also help you in opening up.

Conversation is key. That didn't exactly help in my case, so I had to fix me, instead. The only reason why they have power over me is because I value what they say. This isn't a new discovery -it's been around for a long time (check out the Stoics if you're interested). But to be able to not value what they say or do means being able to filter out which ones matter and which ones don't; you'd only know that if you understood yourself better too.

I believe that there is no wrong or right way to fix emotional abuse within a family, especially because we all go through it differently and take to it differently. Emotional abuse can make someone feel like there world is falling apart, especially when it is by family.
One way to tackle this is by setting up a group meeting with the whole family and allowing everyone a chance to speak one at a time.

You can't fix them, but you can help them to fix themselves. Communicating with them on a person-to-person level is important, in my view. Helping them to see how their behavior affects your life can motivate them to reflect on their actions.

The best way is to talk to them openly about how you feel about it. If you don't talk, they will go on.
