How to deal with people who sap energy from others?

MY 21 year old daughter is an energy vampire, I have to limit my time aroung her, I actually will go into work an hour early just to get out of the house. It's like she's a hypochondriac, and wants you to constantly ask her how she is, then she'll give me a cranky answer and say there's nothing I can do to help her. So I've quite asking and now that's hurting her feelings. Oh, and now she's 3 months pg. and I just can't stop thinking about it!!! lin

There are different ways they attack and different ways to protect yourself. One of them is to have a bath after a contact with energy vampire. You can also wear something pink or pink cristal -this creates pink aura of love arround you and this aura oppossites against the energy attacks.

Tell them in a respectful way that you do not have time for xyz right now, maybe later. If they don't take the hint tell them to leave you alone. Mys sister's boyfriend is like this. I got to the point where I decided that I would not tolerate it in my home. I told him that while he was a guest in my home he needed to mind his place and quit acting like he had the right to boss people around. This is my home and not yours. He blew a nut! Hasn't step foot in since. Lay down the law and quit taking their crap!

You seem to be describing what is known to me as emotional vampires or energy vampires. The best thing will be to stay away from folks like these. Failing that, an old trick is to cross your arms in front of your chest and stay neutral about what they are discussing. Voice as little as possible, reply with nods and 'mmhmm's Try not to get emotional in front of them, after a while, they will find you uninteresting and move on.
