My father decided to yell at me about politics, tell me that my 1 month old daughter is “fucked”, yell at my wife, call me a “little prick”, and decide that he was okay with never seeing me or his grand daughter EVER again all in the matter of 1 hour. My dad has very far right political opinions but I lean more towards the middle. I think both ends of the spectrum are insane but I’ve learned to just let him rant and just agree with him so he’ll shut up. I had to draw a line today when said there’s going to be a civil war in this country then he pointed at my daughter and said “She’s fucked” all I said in response was, “not a huge fan of you saying that” and he proceeded to throw a tantrum and yell at me for “twisting his words” and then disrespect my wife in my house. After he started yelling, she said “I love you but I think it’s time to leave” and he couldn’t even be man enough to say “I love you too” he waved his hand like a little child and said bye sarcastically. I said, “there’s really no reason to be disrespectful to her, she said she loves you” but he raised his voice to me again which led to her finally telling him to get the fuck out. I walked out to the driveway so we could talk and end on a better note and he said he was leaving because he was going to “lose it” on my wife and said “how dare she speak to me like that that”. Once they got home he texted me informing me that my number will be blocked because we will “never be on good terms” as long as I “continue to be dishonest and imply things out of context” Unfortunately, my mother took his side and I told them both they will not be seeing my daughter until they apologize to my wife. It puts me in a bind because I hate the idea of her growing up not knowing her grandparents but also, do I want to subject my child to someone that can’t control his emotions and decided so quickly that he was willing to never speak to us again? I’m genuinely at a loss. I want to repair the relationship but as a man, I don’t think I can be okay with him disrespecting my wife in our home. What would yall do? submitted by /u/Repulsive-Sport101
