Any suggestions on how to say it in a non offending way? I was thinking of telling him today, but it seems very difficult. I don't want to accuse him of abuse, but it is so difficult to get the words out. I once told him over the phone, but that was on the phone and it seemed easier. Now face to face seems to be much harder. But he doesn't seem to understand silent pull backs.
This is really hard. But one good thing taht happened is, I have forgiven myself for all the blame that I took upon myself. And all the confusion. If now, my father has so much of control and power over me, I could never have done anything as a child. And I do know that even as a child I didn't encourage it and tried to pull back several times in silent protest. But I didn't have the courage to say no firmly. But it is time I did it.
