I am about to graduate college and will move back home with my parents in June. My mom is awesome, and I look forward to living with her. My dad is another story. He has a drinking problem but refusing to stop drinking. My parents were very close to getting a divorce this winter, but my mom has decided to make it work. Growing up, my dad and I were not close. I do not even feeling comfortable spending time one-on-one with him, because it's kind of awkward. He is emotionally and verbally abusive, especially when he has been drinking. Out of all my family members, I am the one who stands up to him and tells him that I refuse to be treated that way and that I deserve better. That's another reason why we have such a strange relationship... My question is, what should I say to him before I move back in with him? At this point I am looking at him like a roommate, and I don't want there to be unnecessary tension between us while we live under the same roof. I am willing to apologize for blocking him out, because I know that's something he wants from me, but what else can I do to improve our relationship?
