(New Update; I'm OOP) My(f17) parents are pulling me out of dance because it's causing dad to "stumble in his walk with God"

The father is inappropriate towards his daughters. Even if he technically has not touched them at this point, he is verbalizing and expressing way too much interest and energy regarding thei bodies, clothes, and the rest. The op has good strong instincts for self- preservation. She needs to continue to trust those instincts (they are there for a reason) and draw very clear boundaries between her and the father (and mother in a different way). In these situations it is all too easy for the daughters to minimize the fathers’ behaviors and even turn the anger and fear back on themselves. The op needs to believe in her own perceptions and keep planning to leave when she can. She needs to keep talking to people who will support her wherever they might be.
