Sorry to hear about the realtionship with your dad. I would call him dad still and try and stay in the right. Sometime he might change and then you wont have anything to be sorry for.

Sometimes family relation ships can last YEARSSSS. I never knew for the longest time that my grandmother and great grandmother were mother and daughter. They went to their graves never talking to each other and I heard it was over something stupid like dirty dishes or house dust.

If something was to happen to your dad today or in the near future, you have to live with it. If you arent careful, you could be in the same situation of not talking to your dad for years. He might change, never know.

Really sorry to hear about your situation. You chose your friends, not your family. Hope this helps.It blows but try to be better then what your dad is. You will have kids someday and it suprising how history repeats itself and you dont want this repeat.

There will come a truck later on that has your name on it.
