Thanks for your empathy and understanding.

I try to talk about this in therapy but I still seem stuck. I wake up in the middle of the night angry, sad, and crying.

Even trying to set boundaries and communicate them to him leads me to rage and sadness. For years I didn't recognize that when I've spent any time with him it usually takes several days to come back to being fully regulated. I could probably recover faster now that I've been to therapy, but I'm frozen in fear that he'll try to use his wealth to try to control me and the decisions I make for my family.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Why would you want to fix it if he constantly pushes your boundaries purposely?

Because he's my father and, naturally, I want a relationship where he will be a part of my life.

If he didn't contact you on your wedding, was he invited?

Yes, he was invited.
