My dad’s humiliating tell-all book could affect my job hunt
Posted for: Jackie
Dear Amy: I’m going through a bit of a crisis. You see, shortly before my mother died of cancer last year, she kept a diary detailing in graphic detail about how awful I was and how hard it was dealing with my outbursts (which, I have to admit, were pretty brutal).
I have autism, and while my own outbursts were definitely a factor, my mother dealt out her own verbal outbursts.
Dad says he’s thinking of publishing her diary so that people know “what it’s really like.” Honestly, I don’t feel comfortable with this, but he says he “promised her on her deathbed” that he’d do this.
Not only do I feel uncomfortable with him doing this, but a future employer could be taking a look at this.
However, I’m terrified of confronting him because I’m concerned about his rebuttal. What should I do?
