Then I hung up on him. It was so frustrating to his self righteous attitude under the banner of love. Yes, I went over the top, but I couldn't take it anymore. It was like trying to reason with a stone.
I'm going to put this behind me and move on. I've disowned them.

I hope that your dad loses his blinders one day.
Sometimes, that needs to be done. I did something similar w mine, only in my case i was working through some of the abuse i got from him. I was working through the anger from it, and we were sort of getting back together a little bit after being basically estranged for over 30 yrs. In dealing w issues like this, you don't need to bottle stuff up, all the time.

I'm sorry, mavie. I understand feeling pushed over my limit like that. We love you here!!!!! (((((mavie)))))
I remember a time when my mother pushed me .........I was in the shower and she wanted to hash out a problem. I said, Ok I will be out in a minute.
She comes in the bathroom and pulls back the shower curtain.......you get the picture.
I step out and wrap in a towel and she goes on saying bad things in front of my daughter. She just would NOT shut up.
I hit her. I hit her HARD.
Got dressed and left. Did not speak to her for a long long time after that.
You want to be respectful but some people ..........as much as you hate it ...........do not deserve any kind of respect.

I agree with purps - sometimes as hard as you try they just don't get the picture!!
And going off the deep end is the only reaction you have left, I know you wish it hadn't happend that way but sound like he frustrated you so much there was nothing left to do!!
((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) to you!

Man...I can relate. We had to tell my mom to leave our home when she came to visit after I had Megan. She was relentless in telling me of my death...and that of my family. I wish I had hit her .
Sometimes you have to be blunt.
I had to pretty much spell things out to my mother and she didn't take it very well. We were estranged for a while, but it was more important to her to have me in her life than in her religion, so we have a relationship again.
Give him some time to digest things - give yourself time to sort out your feelings and see what happens.

I too had to endure the mental torture of hearing how I was going to die if I didn't join the cult again!
Now that my JW hubby has deceased I no longer have any contact with the JW's. I can't tell you how nice it is to get up in the morning and not face the constant brainwashing from them.
As much as I miss hubby I don't miss the sermons...
His JW mom and family have no contact with me at all now. I wonder what happened to all that "Love" they had for me?
I guess hubby will be ressurected to his "New Wife" they promised him just as they kept telling him he would get in the 'New System" and God will make him forget all about me.
I did tell his Mom to "Shut Up" once..I had just had it. So I know what you are feeling..she just stood there with her mouth open..she couldn't believe her DIL had actually spoke back to her..it was priceless! I had a grin on my face all the next day!
Snoozy..who had enough!!!!!
Maybe that will wake your father you..
