The 4 Strategies for Silencing My Voice

There are only 4 strategies my father uses to silence my voice.

1)  Screaming.   Certainly I must be in gross violation and should acquiesce if my father is screaming at me!

2)  Put me down.

3)  Walk away

4)  Simply claim it never happened.

And sometimes they can used in combination/together.  For example, "if Mark was involved in that, wouldn't we his parents have known?"  (#2 & #4).  Screaming "I would never do that" and then walking away as if offended. (# 4 & # 3 with a strong implication I am crazy (#2)).
