Some advice please!
Hi guys - so going to try and make this short. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. Will be having my first in December. This is the first grandchild for both of my parents. The point of my post is mostly about my dad. I have always had a strained relationship with him but now I am working on it to be better because I want my daughter to have a good relationship with him. We can for the most part get along, but lately that has been a challenge. Luckily I don’t see him or talk to him that often. With all of the Brett Kavanaugh stuff going on, he has said some pretty ignorant stuff about sexual assault victims and women in general. I don’t want to get into politics with him (or anyone else, since that’s not what I’m asking for), but as a victim of sexual assault myself I truly can’t stand these comments made by him. It’s at the point where I fear if something happened to my own daughter, would he believe her? I don’t want him around my daughter like this. I don’t want him to say these kinds of things so she knows how horrible his mindset is. My question of advice from you all is: am I right in feeling this way? Should I be upfront with him about his attitude? Should I keep her away from him? I don’t think that last one is entirely a good idea but at this point I’m so unsure.
