[quote=Anonymous]You're a grownup. Is there any reason you can't stand up to your dad and flat out tell him? Something like... "Dad, I want your visit to be a positive one. The comments you made about my body/weight last time are hurtful, and will not be tolerated this time. I need you to respect me in my home. If you can manage this, please come - I hope we can have a great time. If not, please consider coming another time." I had a difficult dad. I had a dad that would make implicit comments about my weight. It continued until I learned that I don't have to "obey" him anymore as his daughter, and as an adult, I could push back. It's not easy, but when you're adults the relationship between you and your parents should change. You're peers now - speak up and stand up for yourself. [/quote]
