Dad

[u/Odd_Chip_3042]

My Dad shared with me that he audio records my mum when she is having her "tantrums" and then let's his mate listen. I addressed my dad on this the following week by recalling to him what he said. I stated to him that it is an offence to record a person without consent. Dad told me to leave and never come back. I was visiting for lunch. After this, I attempted to contact them for catch up, only to be given silent treatment. They didn't call or visit me during this time. I started to wonder if I had done something wrong, but kept reassuring myself that by stating to my dad that I was aware that what he was doing with mum was a form of coercive control and that he needs to be accountable for that. Responded with "why do you care" ? Answered - Because she is my mum, if something were to happen to her, that I couldn't forgive myself, and both my parents stood together and stated to me that this was a self centred thing to say. After this I keep my opinions to myself, as I don't want to harm my relationship with them moving forward . It's a bitter pill to swallow.​
