[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or today, I saw some never seen before pics of my dad in his youth and cried. My dad is alive but I still got emotional. And she asked my why im crying. One time I had just woken up and she said my nose looked like a potato. 
Another time I had overplucked my brows and she said its too much.

Im sorry but as a mom you just dont get away with this shit. You just dont. It leaves emotional scars. 
She doesnt get to tell me I shouldnt be insecure when she has done things like that.

And she always says how she does 1000 good things and 1 bad thing and I harp on the bad thing. Well your bad thing was talking about my looks and not knowing how to deal  [/quote]
I have a Father who is just like this.

I joined the military to get away from him. There were times before I left that I stayed at home to help him and my Mom instead of moving out because they needed it. I realized at a certain point I can't spend my life worrying about them so I moved 1000s of miles away and go back to visit sometimes.

Fast forward 15 years and I have two kids and my Dad acts like this towards them. My wife hates it and my one strong willed child hates him. I now have to protect my child and rarely go home because of him. I also realize now that he was emotionally abusive and a horrible parent. We barely talk at this point.

Good luck OP. Don't listen to everyone else. They won't understand what it is like to lose the parent lottery and be harassed by someone who is supposed to protect and love you.
