my parents were devorced when I was 8. I don't remember much of my dad because my mom took us. I do remember that he cheated on her and was into some weird 60s and 70s cult like ideas, now after 20 years we just started talking and have done some traveling together, everything seemed fine untill he left his girlfriend to come travel with me.(I did not ask him to leave his girlfirend he thought it was coming to an end already) Then I felt like he started treating me like he had never left and its a bit of a nightmare cause we are still traveling together, thank goodness I have more money than he does cause he has to leave in a week. But I was wondering if theres a way to end our powerstrugles that last for weeks at a time? thanks

I'm not sure what "powerstruggles" you are talking about, but something about your dad seems really weird. Why did he leave his girlfriend to come travel with you? Why is he so poor?
You say he was into cultish stuff, and it seems like he is somehow "weirding you out." I would go with my instincts. Maybe it's best to just live your own life without him.
It sounds like he made your life a nightmare when you were a kid, and like he might make your life a nightmare again.

kitten made a good point,
my parents divorced when i was 10 i am now 24, my mother also took us and it was really hard for us growing up, in 2005 my mum died from cancer and i never told her about my feeling towards the divorce and i never told her how i was always uncomfortable talking her or even being around her, but i loved my mother very much,
my point is if u feel uncomfortable for any reason tell him he might be able to put your mind at ease and he will know, like kitten said you only get one set of parents and if anything happens to them u may be left regretting what u never said.
so just tell your dad what u are feeling although it seems hard you might find u feel heaps better afterwards.

No dont leave him. parents are important.He has done harm to your mom and you.but forgiving is the best part of life.even you will feel good if you look after him.
