My dad has this huge problem with me moving out of my moms house, which I'm not even doing yet, (I don't have the money) but he found out I had the plan to in the foreseeable future and I feel he attacked me about it.
He called me and said, "don't you DARE move out of moms house with your son, you don't have the money and blah blah blah" going on and on about how it would be better for my son if I stayed at my moms, who is emotionally abusive and a horror to be around. Which is why I feel so strongly about leaving. I can't stay. I can't. If you can't tell, I'm still not calm about this. I'm very upset.
The part that really triggered me was "don't you DARE" like who does he think he is talking to? It reminded me of how my abuser ex would talk to me, like I was some suck to walk all over, like I had no say in my life. I just hung up on him. I couldn't handle it.
Then he emails me and tells me that if my car breaks down which it probably will, don't ask him for help, all because I plan on moving, don't come to him for anything.
I feel like I'm dealing with the same controlling man that destroyed my life a few years ago, but it's my dad. When he calls it gives me the same scared feeling i would get when my abuser would call or show up. When my dad knocks on te door I jump higher. I know he's not going to physically hurt me. But he's emotionally hurting me and it's giving me old feelings back. What is that?
