I could go on and on but in resume, this is not who I am and this is not who I want to be. I want to be the person God is calling me to be but i feel like I have to be able to deal with my dad before being able to take another step forward.
It's not always easy to get along with everyone, but in the case of your dad ; some times its good to keep things simple.
We are taught to forgive each other, and be of that mind set, just as God is apt to forgive us when we repent to Him. We should be of that mindset to forgive each other of our short comings.
I would say ; tell your father you love him once in a while, if for nothing else, that he brought you into the world.
Like I said, its not always good to get along with every person. Its not necessarily your worry to try to understand the mind set of your father, but you can at least show love that you received from Christ, and be that example.
Even though your father my not know how to properly express himself to others etc. , that does not have to stop you from loving him & respecting him and those around you, at least even your own family. ( It is even a commandment to Honor our fathers and mothers. )
My advice would be to stay out of the history and drama of the past that was between your dad and mom. Look forward to the future. Your not always going to be living with your dad are you ? Just try to be that example while your with them.
