The best way is to be honest and tell them how you feel about the whole thing. Sit them down and talk to them about it.

Honestly, you probably cannot. You can try talking to them about how you feel, but they can choose to continue. However you can choose not to be around them as much.

You can't. You can only fix yourself. You can ask them to seek help, and to look for guidance, but it is not your responsibility to fix them.

You can never fix somebody. They are the only ones in control of their actions, but there are steps to helping them improve their actions. Sitting down and talking to them about how they make you feel is a wonderful step to a healthier relationship!

You can't change them. You can however, change how you respond to them and how you let them make you feel. They will hurt you, they will make you angry. You can always choose to let go of the hurt and the pain so that you don't hurt someone else around you. Remember that they are damaged and hurting just like you are. Know what's best for you and remember to put your needs first!

I have learned that the only person I can fix is me. When I stopped being emotionally abusive to myself a lot of them stopped. But I had to first recognize that I was being emotionally abusive to myself.

It's not your job to fix them. You only need to protect yourself from the harm they may cause you. Communication is the key to solving those kind of problems. Our self help guide about managing family stress helped me a lot, I recommend you check it out https://www.7cups.com/family-stress/.

Thats a hard question. You cannot fix them. They have to fix themselves. You need to focus on yourself and maybe seek help from a support network such as close friends

You can not fix somebody. But you can help them. Talk to your family members. If you are to scared or nervous to do that then speak with a professional.
