I don't know what I'll do. I probably won't know until it happens and I imagine I'll probably just say what I always say which is "right on" lol. I just really hope she doesn't take this as an invitation to act like my mother.

I feel your frustration, loud and clear. You've done an excellent job communicating it, you seem to have a good handle on the situation, and I quite admire the tough-minded attitude you're taking.
One other thing occurs to me: I'm told that some people not only get a real charge from being dominated, but are even willing to pay to have it done. I picture them feeling as if someone must really care. I suppose it's possible that your dad might have something of the kind going on, too. Whatever his problem may be, it does seem to be taking away from his relationship with you. If his (and her!) "boundaries" (as they say) aren't very good, you may need to attend that much more carefully to maintaining yours.
Best of luck, salukigirl!
