I'm looking for a good quote to send my father about the inappropriateness of pressuring another into an unwanted relationship. He'll respect a quote.
My recently widowed father is pressuring me to make contact with an abusive older brother I haven't spoken to in 15 years. I broke off contact after he mocked my sexuality and made private threats about harm coming to loved ones. This broached my limits of tolerance and I've felt being out of sight and mind the best policy. He's pressuring my father to make me perform. My father and I have not spoken about this, but we both know how difficult my brother can be. I don't really want to raise the issue of his abusiveness. I know my father will tell him and that could potentially lead a volatile blame-game engagement. My brother loves fights.
In general, it seems to me that its simply inappropriate for a person to insist one relate to another to put themselves at peace. Anyone know of some relevant quotes for such a dysfunction?
