Apostate close relatives

How should we treat heretics, apostates, and unbelievers if they're close relatives, say, family living in your own home?

Moving out is not an option.

Is there a Church teaching somewhere dealing with this type of specific situation? Even something generalized about the treatment towards heretics can be useful. Thanks!

Courteously and in the same manner that you would like them to treat you whether they do or not.

The Catholic rule is who controls the household.

If an unrepentant apostate is running the household, you shouldn't live under their roof because you are in spiritual jeopardy.

I have seen Catholics loose their Faith trying to live in both worlds.

It is like having a devil in your home. Why can you not show them the door, even if they are a relative?  If it was  one of our children and old enough to get a job, out they would go!  The whole home is watching how you will handle the situation.
