Ok in my experience this only works for a short period of time. You ignore it, go away, whatever. However, as long as you are hearing the hurtful things repeated it eventually seeps in.
Just the state of them being in that mood affects you, wastes your time when you could be taking care of things.
If you find yourself getting desensitized, check-in with yourself and do what's necessary. Otherwise we become numb to the pain and don't act.
