Difficult Family Members

Hi, this is my first time posting on here so I'm a little shy.

Basically, I am disabled and bed bound. I need 27/7 care. I am having a difficult time right now with my family member. This has been an issue for years (around when I became unwell) but has been worse the last 13 months. 

Some of the problems I’ve experienced are that they talk disrespectfully about every member of the family to their face and behind their backs, they insult people instead of talking issues out maturely/calls people names, they scream and shout at the mildest inconvenience (including across the house or between different floors of the house), they expect everything to appeal to their wants constantly and must always have their way.

I could list specific instances but I'm not sure if that's appropriate for these forums. Does anyone know how to deal with these family members?
