I've had two very discouraging conversations with my father over the past few days. I can't talk to him about the past because he accuses me of dwelling in it. He made a very insulting comment to me a few days ago about being on the dole and when I told him I wasn't On welfare he said I still get money from the government . I told him every time I try to go back to work I have a crisis with my daughter and he's nowhere around to help. When I try to talk to him about my learning disability he says "I guess". Then when I try to talk to him about how he's talking to me he says we can go no contact if that will help. It's like I just can't win with him. I would love to go back to work but I don't have any help with my daughter and haven't been able to make the long term time commitment necessary to get rehabilitated. In the past when I've tried to talk to him about my PTSD he said he thought only veterans get that. I find it very discouraging to talk to him but I don't think going no contact is the solution .
