Fathers 70th Birthday

Hi everyone, some may remember my previous posts about my relationship with my Father.

To cut a long story short, he was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive when I was younger. As an adult I find he bullies me and have just come out of 1 year of NC with him.

He can not let go of the past, I used to play truant from school because I was being bullied but was to embarassed to tell anyone about the bullying.

He keeps bringing it up despite me being nearly 40!!

He has a 70th meal birthday bash coming up and I really dont want to go. I know he will embarass me in front of family. However at the same time I feel guilty for not going and sad that the family will think less of me for not going.

What should I do?

Don't go. I can't see any advantage and by not going you make your point to everyone.
