My (13f) dad (53m) does not respect my boundaries or privacy. It’s little and big stuff. Little stuff like even when I pay for my own food he still eats some after not getting himself any, which has resulted in me being a very fast eater. Then big stuff like when we get in a argument then when I walk away he calms down very fast and then comes to “communicate” with me because communication is a big thing to me, the issue is it’s like 5 mins later and when I say I’m not ready to talk he keeps pushing until it results in another argument. So I have started eating his food and not respecting his privacy. I genuinely believe that although he is an adult, respect is earned and he has lost all the respect I have for him. Also for other reasons like getting mad over little things, commenting on my weight (I have binge eating disorder), and leaving the house without saying anything after an argument (I have abandonment issues and am scared that he won’t come back one day and it will be my fault) AITAH for not respecting him bc he doesn’t respect me?
