short story: family is a cause of much pain for me

long story: my dad(and his wife) wanted to get together for dinner with me and my partner, and I'm not sure why since he isn't really a present figure in my life (example, they were asking me for my wedding pictures which was more than a year ago....he doesnt even have a baby picture of me yet i grew up in his care). The night was going so well and then everyone was standing up as they were leaving, we start talking about something in the news and he literally points his finger at me and starts yelling at me to sit down and saying that I haven't stopped talking! I told him firmly that I would not be sitting down as he pretty much yelled at me to sit down in my house.

While I kept my cool....holding it in is just so hard. I wish I was more emotionally processed in the moment so I wouldn't feel as terribly controlled and detached. I feel like **** right now.

bump for some kind of support

I have no idea what's going on here. But if this guy is abusive, you don't need to take his crap. You can walk away from an abusive parent. It's hard as hell, but it;s exceptionally freeing.
