Overbearing

Dont we all have over bearing relatives? How do you deal with them? Whats the best way to handle them? Do you keep a distance? Or do ignore everything they say? When did life become so complicated? Why did we grow up? What do you do if you want to scream but cant? What do you do when you see things slipping around you? The more I scream 'this is wrong' the more I seem to lost the battle. Me shutting up, is that teh right way? or is that just emotional torture?
