My relationship with my father is so strained, and his way of trying to change a person is to berate and humiliate them every chance he gets, and that type doesn't work for me. It does the exact opposite, and I gained more weight. So when I stop by his house to pick up paperwork, I grab it without him noticing me, just to avoid any type of communication. I know, sucks, right?... I'm ready to pull my hair out! I just want to put my face in pillows and cry!

I just joined this group, and your entry is the first thing I've read. It breaks my heart, because my father did the same thing to me. He passed away almost 3 years ago. But he used to make fun of me and my weight and it hurt so much. I finally confronted him one time and said Dad, you just can't do this anymore, it doesn't help, it only hurts my feelings. It isn't funny at all. He apologized, which amazed me, and he didn't do it anymore. I hope maybe you can talk with your Dad too. Good luck!

I've tried - a lot - to get him to stop, and it isn't working. So the easiest thing is to avoid him, as best I can, for a month or two, then he forgets and starts behaving normally again. I'm trying to get him to go to therapy with me. That ain't happening! Hmmpf!

My Dad would never have gone to therapy either. It wasn't as hard on me because I wasn't raised with him, and didn't see him all that often as an adult. But still, he hurt my feelings a lot. I wish there was a way to get him to understand. Hang in there.
