How do you deal with people who coerce others, to benefit their own interests?

A male age 41-50, *onfusedsoul writes:

When you are in a relationship with someone, say with a friend, brother, sister, parent, uncle etc. does it imply that your destiny is tied to that of other people? Is it your duty to have these people control a part of your destiny so that it gets aligned with their own imaginations about their life in future, ambitions, dreams and destinies? Are you guilty if your destiny does not make others realize their own expectations from you? Some of them use pressure, coercion to control others whom they regard as a person to who could help them with their own interests. How to deal with such people?
