I might add that although my father was not a jw when I was growing up, he had studied to the point where he could have been baptized, but he chose to sidestep it. So he knew what they taught and used it as a club, but not like this.
JW dad on my case.

Greetings R.F.
Your dad needs to be told in no uncertain terms to buzz off and leave you alone. He's one of those self righteous, hypocritic dubs that use the watchtower cult as a club. If he's abusive to your mom, turn him into the watchtower big wigs, a.k.a. "elders".

Vent all you like.
Do what feels right as far as meetings.
You are an adult.
Love your dad.
Don't try to please him.
You never will anyway.

My mom doesn't care to talk to the elders but she has talked to them over the years but she has stopped because it does no good.
She talked to an elder about about him even a few months ago but he said that he didn't think talking to my dad would do any good.
He has done some things that can call for disfellowshipping. He had been physically, and emotionally abusive to mom since forever. However the physical abuse has virtually ceased since I have gotten older.
