[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who say they'd stop at nothing to meet the needs of their child, everybody is brave behind a keyboard. OP can't legally drive the car if she's not on the contract. Maybe she should be on the contract, but she wasn't, at least not then, and I don't blame her for not risking a literal accident.

OP, I'd suggest you only vacation with your parents when your husband is present.  My guess is your dad wouldn't berate you in front of another man. Most men won't.  I'd make plans to leave this vacation, I'd tell your husband what happened, and I'd tell him the new plan, i.e. he will always be present with you when you visit your parents, and the two of you will always have the means and ability to gtfo if you need or want to.  Your part is to realize that based on your dad's shouting at you (and I'm assuming this is what really happened) that you don't see your parents as much as you or they may like.  Actions have consequences and you are not obligated to be mistreated by anybody. That's the good thing about being an adult.

This is OP. Thank you.

My husband has definitely seen my dad do this with me, and when he has spoken up about it, it shocked my dad, and he didn’t talk to either of us for a day. It was glorious, but made my mom miserable. I had a come to Jesus with her this morning that I won’t help her enable him anymore, and this is the last family vacation. [/quote]
