How to deal..?

Lately I've been fighting with my Dad a lot..and today was like the breaking point. I said so much stuff that I didn't mean and I know I can't take it back, but he uses everything against you and he makes you feel like your inept and not good enough to do anything. My brother is always cussing at me and calling me names and my dad never says a word..and my mom tries..but my brother doesn't listen to her. My Dad doesn't care to spend time with me and my sister..and I just don't know how to deal with him. It's obvious that he cares more about my brother..and I hate to be the "drama queen" as he calls it, but he never listens..how do I deal with his double standards and unfairness without fighting with him?

    I know it's hard, but that is unfortunately how many dads are, mine included, and I am old. It doesn't bother me anymore, but it took me a bit of time to get over it. Perhaps try talking to him, and explain that you would really like him to be a bigger part of your life, and don't accuse him otherwise he will just get on the defense, and you won't get anywhere, just concentrate on how you feel, and don't go into the conversation expecting him to answer a certain way, otherwise you will never be satisfied with anything that he says. Good luck

    I think that you should talk to him and let him know how you feel let him know that you love him and that he is your dad and you need him in your life and you can't make it without him then i thin k that you should pray and ask God to change the situation around and all you have to do is trust and believe and he will do it.
