This might seem a silly thread and I'm not sure where to post it. My dad has a long history of serious mental illness. It has affected both my siblings and me badly. He has improved in the last few years, due to different medication. I still have issues with him though. My partner and I, always do our best to see him, help him out etc. I have never brought his behaviour up with him and never abandoned him. My partner and I voted to remain in Brexit. He voted to leave. Due to his behaviour, I lied and said we had voted to leave to keep the peace. Otherwise he would have made my life a misery. He has fallen out with friends and family over it. We have been invited to a family birthday at the end of the month. My mum (dead) always had to police him at these parties as he has no respect for others opinions etc and can hang on. I'm terrified of him talking about Brexit. I'm angry at myself that I still can't stand up for myself and my views. And that people will think I voted for it. I'm no fan of the EU, but I have an 8 year old son and his future was the decider in my voting remain. I know all this sounds stupid. My partner thinks I shouldn't worry.
