How can I get through the holidays dealing with my obnoxious dad?
<|assistant|>
Try to focus on positive aspects during the holidays, such as spending time with family. When interacting with your dad, take steps to maintain your distance, such as not responding to his jokes or put-downs, and changing the subject if possible. Set realistic limits and let him know when he has crossed the line or made you feel uncomfortable. Above all, try to remember that ultimately this is your life and it’s up to you to make choices about how you want to live it. Seeking out support from trusted people can help ensure you have the happy holidays you deserve.
