Dad’s rude interference in your life? Get their friends involved!
“Mom, Dad, if you move closer to me, I won’t see you any more often than I do now. I am not having kids or adopting them. If you feel the need to have a child in your life, adopt one yourselves. This is the end of this discussion. I will not have it again. If you bring it up again, I will immediately end the conversation. I simply won’t have this. Go ahead and move if you want no one to be near you that is willing to see you. Show up at my home unannounced and uninvited, and you will be asked to leave. Don’t leave, or come back? I will call the police. This is a hard boundary and I will not budge.”
Then follow through. NTA.
