I (28F) want to stop talking to my father (65M) due to various reasons. I am estranged from my mother’s side of the family due to lots of illegal activity so my father was my sole parent. Throughout my life I was always second best to my father’s girlfriends and in turn felt there was a neglect there and I had to grow up pretty fast after not really being supported much.
I now live with my partner in my own house and will be thinking of starting a family soon. My father never respects boundaries and only now insists on treating me like a child (even though I’ve been providing for myself for a long long time now), all the whilst his partner hates me and doesn’t talk to me. There is a lot of lore I’m missing here but this is the basics.
My question is, has anyone else been through similar? How did they go about this situation?
