Share love, share food and share happy memories. Those persons who irritate you will die someday. When the person is gone, you will ask yourself
Did I seek to add value to our interactions by redirecting the conversations toward positive matters or did I add fuel to the flame of negativity?
Did I seek to understand how this family member became a tortured angry soul?
Could I have been kinder to this person?
Or you could choose to ask those questions before the difficult person(s) dies.
The one with the most self-awareness is in charge of helping the suffering. Be of service to your difficult relatives with gratitude in your heart.
You may have persons who are addicted to drugs or alcohol or who suffer from debilitating depression or self-pity.
You can't change them but you can pray for them to become willing to get professional help for their problems or to be able to let go of old wounds.
Is it a burden to be the most emotionally stable, emotionally sober or the only sober one in the family or are you blessed?
Is being the example of healthy living or mediator a burden or a blessing?
It is what you choose to make it
