One of the things my T and I are working on is my reaction to the demands my dad puts on me. Unfortunately he puts a lot of demands on me and expects me to jump through certain hoops in order to get my money. So I am learning new coping skills to self regulate when the stress level gets too high. I have learned that telling him that his behavior is out of line doesn't work so it is just a waste of words. In fact it can come back to haunt me later so it is just best not to tell him. He likes to store up things I tell him and use them as ammuntion in arguements later on. Our communication skills aren't the best and I know this and am trying to work on this but it seems sometimes he doesn't want to work on it.
