[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be mean but I think your dad is hilarious. He has my sense of humor. The car thing, I would forever tease you about that everytime you crossed the street. Maybe it's his way of loving you, by teasing you. [/quote]

Your kid gets hit by a car and you'd make fun of your kid for the rest of childhood that they don't know how to cross the street? That's disgusting.

I was 6 during the Great Flood of 1993. We regularly crossed the Mississippi and I started calling every river a flood. Anytime I rode with my father after he would point out the window when we were on the bridge and say "hey, look at that flood!" It embarrassed me when he did it with my friends or boyfriends in the car, but as I got older it was just a fun memory. Now that he's gone, I still think of it when I see a river.

OP, I don't know that full on estrangement is what you need, but definitely boundaries. If you are able to set boundaries and be cordial with your parents, it will make your family life with everyone else significantly easier. At the least, start with that and see if you need to progress to a full estrangement.[/quote]
