Do you have to go to Christmas with him? If you feel that you do ..maybe you could pull him aside as soon as you get there and tell him "it's christmas and I want to enjoy it. PLease do not bring up my mental or financial issues. I don't want to discuss it" 
If he does it anyway, tell him the same thing "I'm not going discuss this now"
It's hard to deal with a bullying parent who doesn't understand, but you will feel stronger and better about yourself if you stand up to him.
Wishing you a peaceful Christmas   |
He didn't bring it up in front of anyone, but it still hurt. He tends to forget I'm very sensitive, even though I've pretty much always been that way. And yeah, I don't have much choice but to spend the holiday with him since I had to fly to get here. I'm here until Monday so I just have to try and make the best of it. Things this year have just been rough with all the changes I've been through.
