Can any other girls out there relate? I have a strange relationship with my dad.(Nothing freaky or anything like that) He has always been there for me, always helped me through the tough times, always been my rock, my protector, and my friend. At the same time, he always had a drinking problem when I was growing up, and though he never phsically abused us, he was always verbally abusive. As I got older, he got worse. When my husband got murdered, my dad was the first one there beside me, to hold my hand, a shoulder to cry on, lets face it, he is what held me together. Now my daughters and I live with him and my mom, and even though I know he loves us, and he does whatever he can for us, he is still extremely abusive to me, and often does it in front of my kids, which greatly upsets them. I know the ideal solution would be to move, but right now, we can't. How do I get him to understand that I love him so much my heart aches, but that at the same time, he is killing me inside? HELP!
