hi Elana i feel for u n wanna tell u that ur dad being also a victim of abuse n all mayb has big issues. guys specially have difficulty expressing feelings n talking about them. plz if u can just let go of his childish attitude it would b good for u. i did this with my mom n trust me she is a lot lot meaner than this. plz try not to take it personal coz he probably is like that to everybody, thus drawing in negative energy all the time. IT IS NOT U ! u r great but he is hwat he is. u should work on u n let others b what they chose to b. plz take care of Elana then u will b able to work n live the life u deserve n want. big hug
