This might be an odd request but I'm trying to figure out something I can do to help with the crippling fear I have when I'm around my dad. I am an adult so thankfully I'm not dependent on him or anything but I'm having to talk to him quite a lot lately because we have mutual relative that's dying. If this weren't the case, I'd be long gone.
He used to beat and choke my mom and I. Now to be fair, I don't actually think he'd try anything like that with people around to see. And I always bring someone along to keep an eye on things. This is more of a me problem. I can't get confident enough to speak up for myself with him in the room. I'm like a terrified child all over again. So I want to feel less powerless.
Something to keep in mind though: I am a tiny woman with an eating disorder. So I don't think I'd ever be able to fight him off.
