Idea: I was this many years old when I learned this trick. Simply reply NO (nothing else) to these intentionally provoking texts, nothing more. It enrages these types and gives them no ammo to use against you.

In person, state: “Don’t be like that.” Or also “No.” like you would to a dog who was sniffing another dogs butt.

If u act upset, those Mike Pence fake-humble religious control freak types feel entitled to offer you leadership and guidance, per their rightful position as overlords of all women, but particularly emotional women (in the hierarchy of life), and now they REALLY feel they have the upper hand.

React privately, because your dad is not behaving in a loving manner, and you don’t deserve it! But…unless you’re afraid he’ll become violent…just, No.

Congratulations on your ❤️ love.
