[quote=Anonymous] I would ignore the text for now, but if he brings it up on the phone call, I would draw the clear boundary. Do not mention the biopsy, but say something along the lines of "dad I had knowledged moms birthday in a way that worked for me. If that did not work for mom, she will tell me about her hurt feelings. She and I are both grownups who do not need our relationship managed by you."  My guess is that he is a controlling jerk who will proceed to lose his mind at the audacity of your telling him that something that is not his business is not his business, if that happens, I would say clearly and one my guess is that he is a controlling jerk who will proceed to lose his mind at the audacity of your telling him that something that is not his business is not his business, if that happens, I would say clearly and onCe, "I don't like the way that you're speaking to me. You need to calm down or we can have this discussion at another time."   If he proceeds with dressing you down, then say "we can discuss this at another time when you are more calm." Then hang up.
