I agree with you - some of this behavior on their part does seem passive- aggressive. As you know, people tend to use this way of dealing with people when they are ambivalent or angry and are not skilled in dealing with these feelings more directly. This is a difficult situation to be caught up in! I do have a couple of questions for you:
What are they really angry about?
Can you encourage them to talk out their feelings more directly? This is the only chance of making things different and more supportive and satisfying.
