Yesterday I posted a question regarding my father speaking badly about me. Well, today I went to speak with the life insurance guy about life insurance and low and behold guess who had been in there talking about me not even an hour before I got there?!!!! My father!!!!! I have had it. My husband and I own a business which includes our last name in it and this is only destroying our business image that my husband has worked so hard to make successful. I don't want to sue him for money, I think that is stupid. But is there some type of court order ordering him to stop talking to others about me? I don't want this jerk to ruin our business b/c he wants everyone to feel sorry for him.

My life insurance rep starting off by saying "I am not trying to get in your business" right then I knew what was coming. After he said what my dad said I couldn't just do my normal routine and sit there and smile and the person's face, I had to say something and I have known the life insurance man since I was 14 so I felt comfortable enough to say something. I told him that he shouldn't believe everything he hears from my father. I told him that one time when I had met with him (met with the life insurance guy) that he made a comment that kind of made me feel a little uneasy, I felt it was inappropriate, and I told my father, my father's exacts words were "Everyone knows that (insert life insurance guy's name) is a prick". I think I made him mad when I said this but he did believe me so I asked him to tell my father that the next time he brings me up to tell him that he would prefer not to hear about our personal family matters, he is there to discuss business matters only.

So the life insurance guy said what....oh youre father was just in here talking bad about you...? Or did he say - oh youre dad was just here...? I guess you are in a small town - it sounds like it...if youre not in a small town then just go completely out of that specific area that your dad does his daily dealings. I would go out of my way to be extra nice to people - just to make it harder for dear dad to spread his hate. Its not giving in- its winning. You own a business - depending on the type of business - maybe you can put on a huge block party or make a donation that will make people say to themselves - wow - they are such nice people - why would her father talk so bad about them. I would go to him one time only and clearly let him know that if he continues to talk crap - you will bring it to his church...smile and say - remember when you - (and use an examle that would tarnish his reputation) Give him something to worry about - when the church ladies and other town people say this and that - throw a little something in there to make them see all is not shiny - just little hints here and there.

Good for you, and you should keep telling everyone that your father comes in contact with this same line. You don't deserve this, expecially from your father.

Ignore it, the people that he talks to probably dread it when they see him coming their way and frantically try to hide before he sees them.

You need some one to talk to your dad. If not supporting but not to talk in a negative way.
