my dad has always messed up the good time that i have. he is always interfering with my life. getting angry at the most stupid things, and telling that it's my fault. he never talks to me, unless he wants to fight someone, and if anyone here tells me that he does all this things because he is worried . let me just tell you don't make conclusions too quickly. can't wait till i'm out of the house...
i'm not saying that only my dad is like this, but i don't know better. i'm curious what kind of relation you have with your father.

Yes my dad was the same way, but now he has passed away and i am older and i realize i could have tried a littel harder to get along with him, but there is nothing i can do about it now. Maybe you should try a little harder, and then later on in life you wont regret not trying. I know its hard, but its worth it. And maybe when you do move out of the house, you will get along better when you dont have to follow by his rules, you can have a better relationship with him.. Maybe ;)

my relationship with my father is super okay. he's the kind of man i want to be as my husband. Sometimes he scolded me but i know it's my fault. he's the man with good reasons and fair to everybody that's why me and the rest of my family adores him so much.
hey, maybe you should see things in a different way when it comes to your father. if it's really not good between the both of you then talk to him one on one. tell him you don't like the way he treats you. So he'll know his mistakes.okay..

i don't think that's a good idea, telling him the wrong aspects of how he is treatening me, then he will be even madder, because me a teen is telling him what to do better. i know and all of you know i don't mean something like that, but he will turn my words against me. he doesn't want to talk to me.

I'm sorry that your relationship with your father is so messed up. My father has passed away. He wasn't always around but was always there when I needed him. He really didn't know how to be a father. I love him dearly but he thought being a father was just only being there when I needed him rather than being there all the time.

that kind of a father is a very nice thought, he sees you as a friend in stead of a father. he has fun with you, i wish my dad was like that...

my relationship with my biological father is not very good because he left our family and never tried to contact me or anything so I don't know him. But my step father, who raised me. he and I have a good relationship. He's protective and caring....he's what a father should be.

Each person has his own way of likings and style of behaving.Anyway My father is the best in the world.I just love him.I have done many wrong things and he has always stood by my and my brother's side.Never has he left us to get scolded from anybody else.He is a great man.

my parents split when i was 4 and that dad was and is a crazy man.. there are shrinks to back up that statement its not just a theory i have.. regardless i dunno him that well.. i visited him on weekends for a few years but after that we havent really talked since.. i think maybe 4 times in the last 15 years.. all within the a 2 year period though and only because i was staying with my sister who is the only one who kept in contact with him closely all along.. anyways i dont so much mind not having him for a dad considering what my siblings and mom have told me hes put them through.. im the only one he spared it seems.. too young perhaps.. anyways my step dad who i have always referred to as dad since he married my mom (took my bro and sis quite a few years to call him that.. my brother still calls him by name sometimes).. anywho i think hes an awesome father.. i hope i can be a father to my kids as he was to me.. i usually tell people my biological father taught me how to be a bad dad and my step dad taught me how to be a good dad heh hes only my step dad in government books hes my only dad in my books

having a good dad is more then enough i guess, it's a nice gesture by calling him dad in stead of his first name too.

I can't say that I ever had a realtionship like yours with my dad, I was always very close to my dad and loved him very much. He taught me so many things growing up and a lot of my habits and views I got from him. A lot of what makes me, me is because of him. We spent a lot of quality time together, especially when I was younger and into my teens. When he passed away 8 years ago, I was really broken up about. I only wish my sons could have gotten to know him better, only to know him as I did.
