Everyone looked on in horror shocked. He then said "LET'S PARTY, YEAHHHHH!" in a loud voice.The engagement party was a disaster, with the atmosphere being very sombre afterwards, and the meal being silent, even my close friend and her fiance were silent.My fiance was disgusted, and said to me I should talk to my dad about it, which I did. However, my dad refused to discuss the issue, and my mum was horrified.My mum spoke to him, and my dad claimed what he did was a bit of fun to liven things up.I'm worried about what my dad'll do next and if he has any mental health problems.He's never done anything like this before, but I worry about what he'll do next.please help, Paula

My only major concern here, would be ..did he have clean underpants on? If not! ban him from anymore parties especially new years eve.
Seriously i would not have minded your dad been at some of the parties i have been to before..to liven them up.
Be proud of your dad in a humorous way...at least he had the balls to get up and do it, as every one will have noticed. ,
Happy new year

I think you should just make a point that he is not invited to any more events. Your mum can come along but he is not allowed.
He might get the message that he has to behave if it's made clear that he's not welcome after doing things like that.
You should also try and get him to apologise to your friend who's party it was.
Good Luck!! xx

 His actions are definitely in bad taste, at the very least. If such things are completely unlike your father normally then yes, something is up. I know it's cliché but he may be having some sort of mid-life crisis. Ideally, you should suggest he seek counseling, or perhaps go as a family if you think he would be offended by, or hostile to, being singled out as the one to go. Good luck.
