I am sorry your father displayed behavior that triggered you and most likely he was consistently part of your challenge that can get pretty deep. The holidays and being around family can be very hard for just that reason, especially when a person is challenged.

I also ended up having a very challenging Thanksgiving despite my best efforts to try to have a nice day. It's unfortunate but people do have a tendency to develop unhealthy behavior patterns that can be hurtful to others and "yes" often that can be "family" members that simply don't learn how to keep their mouths shut or fail to respect another's space even when asked to do so.
