[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to plan an intervention OP. Have your dad over. Take his phone and answer her calls saying he is busy and can’t talk right now. If he is easily controlled by her I can’t imagine him putting up a fight with you over you trying to control him.
Have a face to face with her as well and lay down the ground rules. These types thrive on the rest being decent people respectful of boundaries and agency of the person they seek to control. You need to get down to her level and show her who’s the boss.

You sound nuts. You can't possibly believe that would help.

I’ve lived it but even more weirdly - with my own mother! She sabotaged her own adult kids’ time with their father. Acted the way the gf is acting (calling him non stop or telling him he was needed when he tried to talk to us kids on the phone). 
My dad has almost no will of his own and that’s what worked, hiding the phone from him and handling her calls when he was allowed to visit. 
I am telling you these people think that others won’t dare to do what they do and they are mostly right judging by this thread. [/quote]

My mom did a little bit of this too, and one thing I discovered (way too late unfortunately) is that if I just showed up, my dad was happy to see me.[/quote]
