On Thursday at 4:00, I am choosing to confront my father and mother in order to protect my 2 yo daughter. I don't want to go into details for fear it may trigger someone. I am asking for well wishes, peaceful, positive thoughts, and prayers to help this meeting. My goal is for my father to choose to seek treatment and therefore be allowed to continue to be a part of my daughter's life. If he does not choose treatment (and I doubt he will), he cannot be a part of my daughter's life anymore because she would not be safe.
Elizabeth

Oh, Elizabeth, what a brave thing you're doing. What a wonderful mother you must be to confront something so extremely painful. I'm so proud of you.
You, and your entire family, will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please don't hesitate to post (or PM) if you need someone to talk with afterwards. KD

That is a brave thing to do. What ever happens we are here for you.
You are such a good mom to have your child's best interest at heart. And also it's a great thing to stop the cycle-- which can often be the more difficult route but the much better one! My heart and thoughts are with you!

You have to do what you gotta do, and especially for your child. That's very honorable even if very difficult. I hope all goes well, you have my deepest thoughts.

All of your well-wishes, thoughts and prayers must have really helped today. The confrontation with my Dad took place. He doesn't remember what happened, most likely because he was having blackouts every night from alcohol during that time. He did not affirm or deny what happened, said that he is very sorry to have hurt me, and agreed to go into treatment so that he can safely interact with my daughter. My Mom was able to listen to everything without getting too defensive for not protecting me and agreed to get therapy to help deal with what is going on now. This was truly so much better than what I was hoping for!!!!
All my gratitude and thanks for the support you all have given me, Elizabeth
