How To Control Over Obsessed Dad Keeping Regular Watch On Me?

I have a 70 year old stepdad that is extremely obsessed with me! He digs through the trash when I throw something away, no matter what it is. If I bring food home from work and put it in the microwave, he waits until he thinks nobody is around and has to open the microwave to see what it is. He is always watching everything I do. I could just be sitting in my chair and he will go out of his way to look at what I m doing, even if I m just sitting .One day when I was eating at the dinning room table, I noticed that he had moved some stuffed animals in my moms china hutch to the side, so that he could watch me in the mirror. If he can t see me, he will get up and stare at what Im eating. My mom and I were wondering why he is so obsessed with me and what I m doing?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You have not given your age or gender here. Yes. The behavior of your step father do correspond to obsession. But why? From the description you gave, it is not possible to identify the cause behind it. But you can find. Just go back some days to that day when it all started. Then make a chart with all the events happened in one week time. Most probably you should get your answer. If not, it is better to ask your father itself. Do not shy away and keep the doubt to yourself.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
