Sorry. That is really tough. Trying to live up to a Fathers expectations is a very difficult thing. I struggled with that for years. Or at least my perception of what his expectations were. I am 50 now and he is 72. I am absolutely amazed at how understanding he is of my depression. It is like a total 180 from when I was a teen. I hope your dad will get more educated and understanding.
