chosen.content: Try to remember that it is his behavior, not yours. Set clear, concise boundaries and use your assertiveness skills to deal with him. Take frequent breaks or excuses yourself until the situation gets better. Make sure to get plenty of rest in case his behavior is worse than usual. If you can leave the situation, do so. Lastly, reach out to family, friends, or a therapist if needed, for support and guidance.

rejected.content: The best way to get through the holidays dealing with your obnoxious dad is to establish concrete boundaries and set expectations. Start by having a discussion with your dad to clarify what behavior you will and won't tolerate. Let him know that while you appreciate his affection, some of the things he is saying and doing are making you uncomfortable. Set explicit rules regarding what is and isn't acceptable and establish a system of consequences so that he knows what will happen if he continues to cross boundaries. It’s also important to remember to take care of yourself by engaging in calming activities like deep breathing and taking time outs if necessary. If all else fails, reach out to a trusted adult for help and support.
