If it's a loved one who is draining you this much, it could be he/she is passive aggressive. I've found that those are the kind of people who are the most exhausting for me to deal with.
The reality is if the person is passive-aggressive, there's nothing you can do to change them. You can read up on it and learn about coping strategies. But you'll NEVER make them into someone who brings positive energy into your home.
