Some people imagine if they are a financial support to their offspring, then this is enough. They pay the bills so therefor their word is the final word. They don't feel they have a social responsibility to that child. Mostly they have become what they are because of their own childhood.

Perhaps if you cannot talk with him, write him a letter and explain how you feel. You of course know your dad best and will know how he will react to this. Word the letter in a positve rather than a criticising way. You did not mention specifically what 'this situation' is. If you are talking about having sex in his house, then I am inclined to agree with Ozzie.

Understand that people have different values, personalities etc. What you decide to do with your life in the end is not your father's choice but your own. You sound like someone who has plenty of dreams for yourself. Follow those and be great at them!
