I've mentioned before, but in short - my dad has a wicked temper which had a certain effect on my childhood and our relationship. Nowadays, I've mostly been content to keep everything civil for appearance's sake, but it's getting harder and I'm not sure why.

I thought that maybe it had to do with this meandering journey of self-discovery I've been on, as I've been re-evaluating a lot of ******** from my childhood. On the other hand, he seems to be trying to get closer to me, and my patience is wearing thin.

Either way, I dunno what to do about this and it's irritating.
