Lesson I Need to Learn (And Hopefully Soon)

How do you get rid of a negative person in your life? What if that person is a family member and there is no 'getting rid of them'? It's so hard to be around the constant negativity and fear of making this person angry, it is so overwhelming. How do I not let them get to me so much? I can't exactly ignore them, but I really don't like to talk to them either. And how can I stop it from bringing me down, or ruining my day? Some days are easier than others, but it's really annoying having to work around this person. It's especially hard cause I feel like I don't really have anywhere to go to vent my frustrations or to get away. Of course I could go hang out with a friend, but it would still be the same when I came back.
And, why can't this person see what they're doing to our family? Why is it everyone else's fault? It's like a roller coaster. And it's never a kid's ride! It's constant ups and downs, more downs than ups that's for sure. Why can't things just stay steady and calm? Since this person isn't going to change anytime soon, what can I do? It's makes me angry that I have to change my behavior or my thoughts and feelings, but I guess it's the only way to stop this from having such a negative effect on me. It's absolutely draining. Absolutely exhausting. Absolutely disheartening.
