I know this may not sound easy, but it is probably the best advice I can give to you. If whatever it is bothers you so much then I would actually talk to him, but don't be like hey dad I don't like you doing this. No, tell him exactly why it bothers you and how much it angers you. I had bad anger issues back in my life, and eventually I learn the more you run away from the issue the worse it'll get. Now with that said I can't think of one family that doesn't have some fights, and not every time will they listen to it and not be upset even just a little. And last I promise is what do you honestly think will happen to you and your family if you keep it bottled up inside?

My dad is a weird person.I don't want to go into details of how weird he is but he is irritating to me.I can't help getting angry.Each time I would feel wrong and ask God for forgiveness but the next day I would get angry again,and it get worse.I feel sinful but what can I do with my temper.

I wish my daughter were so honest like you... What's the thing you cannot forgive in your dad's attitude? Do you want another dad, instead of the one God gave you? Do you want him to change? and you, yourself, are unable to change you... How come you don't change and want him changed?
Just thoughts! Not judging you, because i don't like my mom and have several issues with her and Iḿ also puzzled and stuck in trying to guess why I keep on visiting her, since I don't like her ways (but she is my mom and any day she is going to die) and today, when I woke up, I place my head on her shoulder while she was opening the freezer, by the time she was boiling water to make her coffe... How long have you stopped hugging and kissing your dad, by the way? He would apraciate that, by the way.
Excuse me! I wish you could enjoy him more, so he can love or enjoy you more.

I can relate to the OP. My grandparents drive me up the wall! I think you can love a person, but not really like them. That said, learning to exercise patience takes time and character. It's not easy, and you still may get frustrated, but at least learning to shelve that anger and act with tact is a step in the right direction.

When he is "weird," remember that people do not associate you as being weird with him.
People can and do differentiate between family members and any quarks. But I know it can be difficult, being related to a person who seems embarrassing, or maybe rude.
The reality is, people will still love you, and they will still love your dad. There may be distance at times, or communication hoops to jumpy through, but you and he matter to God-- and to other people. Surely, you have been a blessing to someone, unknowingly-- because that person identifies with your situation. Likewise, God has used your dad to inspire others.
It may feel like the end of the world or a chance at a "normal" relationship; but I assure you, it is not as bad as you feel.
Embrace God in prayer, asking Him to give you greater appreciation for the man who is your dad. And ask Him to show you small ways to improve the relationship, as far as you have influence.
Remember: People do not associate his eccentricities with you. So do not carry a burden that you should not carry.
Do, however, seek God to grow your relationship with Senor Weirdo
