I (19f) do not and haven’t lived with my dad since he split from my mom when I was 4. For my whole life he’s always felt more like an uncle than a dad to me, he has never helped my mom with money while she raised me and my brother as a single mother. All this to say, I do know he is a good person and I know he loves me. But recently he’s been extremely overbearing and making me feel uncomfortable. He’s had this issue for a long time where he will call or text me and if I don’t answer, he almost acts like a jealous boyfriend?? Even my friends and boyfriend have picked up on it and ask “why is your dad always calling you?”He gets annoyed when I don’t answer so I always answer which I think is enabling this behavior. But recently I think he’s going through something maybe with his wife or some other personal problem but I’m starting to get concerned. He has been incessantly calling me like five times a day sometimes at 10pm which is really out of character for him. And when he calls and I answer, he starts going on a super random and weird rant about his life, how he lost his whole family and I’m the only person he has, how he would take a bullet for me, all this super weird guilt trippy and irrelevant stuff??? It makes me extremely uncomfortable. Tonight I finally tried to instill some boundaries and when he called I said “why are you calling me at 10pm? I am an adult now and I need some boundaries” he got beyond pissed off as I knew he would. He started saying, “what the fuck is wrong with you? I’m calling you because I love my daughter. I’ve been fucked by every person in my life and you are all I have I just wanted to talk to you.” And then proceeds to give me a guilt trip and then I DO feel bad bc I am a peooole pleaser. But what he says makes me very uncomfortable and it’s almost as if he wants me to be his therapist and listen to him talk about how great he is and how he’s overcome so much in his life. I’m obviously not in a position to diagnose but it seems like he’s a narcissist. I’ve seriously thought about cutting him out of my life for good but I can’t even imagine the guilt trip that would cause + he would spiral and destroy his relationship with his partner. I’m very stressed about this and don’t know how to navigate this and make him understand what I’m saying does anyone have advice and thank you if you read to the end of this
