Katiegan,

I do actually try the 'joke method'. Sometimes I'll say something funny to try and ease the situation, but I do that in any bad situation, with or without my dad. Sometimes it works, sometimes he just stares at me, and then I realise it probably wasn't as funny as I thought it was. Even on Monday, I can't remember what I said but I joked about it and he just gave me a look and told me it wasn't funny.
We had a mondeo estate (the version that existed before bruiser) i missed that for ages it was well used and full of memories. It had something like 210,000 miles on the clock when my dad sold it, now i miss the passat we just sold dearly.:town:
It's quite weird how we get attached to cars like we do, I mean, they're just inanimate objects... or are they?
cphbulletThats sort of good in the sense that he's more likely to listen to your opinion.
We're all here for you on GTP make no mistake so we will listen and try to suggest ways to help but this is about what you feel comfortable doing/saying and only after you've thought about everything a lot...

Thanks for that. The thing is though, if I do ask him that, and he'll probably tell me that the thing that's bothering him is my mum, should I tell him the fact it's not fair the way he treats her? Should I just plain tell him that he needs to learn that not everyone is perfect? I'm not sure when the right moment to actually have a conversation like this will be... I tend to avoid uneasy situations like this the best I can.
