So, I hear that my aunt has shingles. Being a germ a phobe anyway, I stired in it, anxiety filled me.  The thought of contracting it scared me.

I thought how if i had something like that I would stay home, but i know my family all too well, So i know she will be there.

So I thought of ways to get out of going the 4th.  I was going to come down with the flu. But instead i knew i was going to tell the truth and in doing so, i knew what it meant.  It meant Telling the truth and speaking my mind then being repermanded for doing so.   So i told my dad saturday morning, just as i guessed he would tell me i was worrying too much, i told him i didn't think id be going, I said don't want to hurt your feelings i just don't want to get sick.  What did he say, "OH chris i don't know why you think that way" You worry too much" I said if i get sick will you pay my doctor bill, If he was so sure he would say yes, but instead he made more insults about how rediculous it was i was making statments about not wanting to be around someone who carries contagous shingles (Chickenpox)  So He said do what i want to do.  My husbands mom called me about a yard sale item for my dad so i called him and asked him about it.
He rudely said, I don't f@ckING CARE ANYMORE, IM f@ckING PISSED OFF, DON"T TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW and he hung the phone up.  
Tears flead my eyes, i felt so much guilt, i feel like i was bad for feeling the way i did, and then for him to kick me and spit in my face like that.  I haven't talked to him in 2 days. He tried to call later that night, but I know how he is he will call and act like nothing ever happend.  So im upset about it. I don't like when my dad acts this way, It was all because i said i wasn't going to attend 4th because my aunt has a contagous virus. 
WHY DO I have to feel like I have to be passive and do what everyone else wants of me without even thinking of what I need.  Why do i get repremanded for having my feelings.  I am angry with my father.  I am half tempted to tell him what he did was not okay and is not acceptable.  But I feel its better to ignore him.  I think im protecting myself by saying that but its just starting more crap for him to tell me "OH THERE YOU GO STARTING YOUR sh*t AGAIN" thats what he will say. 
 Im very hurt by how he treats me.

 UPDATE

WELL ITS 12 midnight now...  and I got a message from my dad telling me, that i made him very mad and upset and that he felt attacked and that i ruined his day. That I should be a bit nicer in what i say to him ect.. That it made him very angry and he wasn't having a good day and that I should think about what I say to him.

So i left  a message back telling him I will not own his feelings. I only told him i wasn't going to my aunts because an aunt was ill.  I said nothing wrong, and his reaction of swearing at me and hanging up is not appropriate and will not be accepted.  I told him he hurt my feelings by the way he acts, i can't even tell him the truth with out him throwing a tantrum and that he should respect me and if i have decisions I make  i should be allowed to feel what I feel and i am trying to be independent and stand up for what i feel. If i felt it wasn't safe i should be respected for my decsion but i am not owning his anger.  I said just as i am responsible for my feelings he is responsbile for his. There was nothing disrespectfult that came out of my mouth for my husband was sitting in front of me when i told him how i felt.  I am sure he will have something nasty to say like, Im playing the victim but i said all i was going to say and i told him i was letting it go. That i would not take responsibilty for his feelings.

Hi Chrissy,

Thanks for sharing sweetie. It seems to never have a stopping point, or any breaks in your life. I don't know how you stand it.

I used to be on the same roller coaster. Pure hell. Drama, Drama, Drama. You begin to learn that there are some people who live for this. They would not have it any other way. Well they can find someone besides me to drop it on.

I understand that you have only one parent left, so you want it to work. This is two adults now, though. I think your dad needs to understand that. You are going to have a fight on your hands for some time until it gets worked out. The both of you need to put some boundress in the relationship.

One being that if either is really upset that is not the time to talk. You have to calm down before you can call each other, Or the phone goes off the hook until it gets to that place.

But I am confused as to why you had to tell your dad that you weren't going. You knew he would react this way. It would have been better on the day of the event if you had someone call him and tell  him you wouldn't be able to attend. Or better yet to have called the aunt. Or not show up and take the call after the thing was over.

As far as I know you can't get shingles from the person unless you have never had the chickenpox. Most of us had them as children. If you did you can't get the shingles from her. But I think because it was for your aunt, she is the one you should have called. She could have explained that to you.

I don't know what you are going to end up doing about your relationship with your dad. But something needs to change. Their is no respect, there is something wrong with that. Maybe the two of you need to take a break from each other for a month or so. Maybe you just interact too much.

This type of stuff , living this way steals all of your joy in your life. It just isn't right.

This relationship needs a hero. Someone who would be willing to say doesn't matter what has happen, this behavior stops with me. If you don't react, he can't fight with his self.

At some point you have to decide. Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy? Hope something changes, it needs to, and like today.

Take care. with love,

Paris
