Your dad is correct in that finding the cause is important in order to get better. Thing is is that the family environment and parenting is what affects children so he is the cause. I also agree with him about the meds because why should he be the cause of your distress and then you get medicated for it. The better solution is family therapy and he and your mom need to assess what they are doing which is affecting you.
