Am i wrong to dislike or even hate my dad?
For starters, he's a raging alcoholic, materialistic, selfish, self centered,inconsiderate, impolite, rude, disgusting person.
He cheated on my mom while she was in the hospital, she had dealt silently with depression because of him and the way he never tried to be compassionate and gentle with her, he always made her feel like ****, when she was sick he would come home drunk and laugh at her for being so "delicate" (smells made her have nausea) and when she died he started treating her mom, my grandmother the same way, accusing her of being a witch and brainwashing me to dislike him.
Currently he is with the woman he was cheating on and claims that the only reason he's with her is because she can cook, he also confessed that he married my mom so he would have someone to take care of him, weather it be her or the children.
He has never been kind, supportive,a good mentor or nothing that makes a good father be so.
The only reason he's living with me is because he "wants me to have my education" but i know it's just so he can brag about it, he's living in my grandmothers house with me and he HATES her and mentally harasses her she is old and can't do much and he calls her useless, she has worked her whole life.
Everyone tells me that i should make things better and we should get along, but i just don't see that happening, he will always be a jerk and as soon as i graduate i want to be as far away from him as possible. but is that right? how should things be? how should i feel?

I will answer in the last part.... You are a woman right? We need more like you. This is a confident, loud and passionate message.. While It might feel easy for now, everything we know say this is a hard thing to do - hate dad. You own your emotions though and seem to know that better than most. So lets thrown in mature and unashamed.
Most people allow "perceived beliefs" (what we are told) to bully or push them around. We see it a lot in politics where people like "X" just because they are on the same team.
Just because someone donates a little sperm does not make them a father. It absolutely does not make them a good or valuable person. Women are abused or ripped apart all the time because of fear, not being strong or confusing a past or current title having value. Just because someone is a dad, manager or has some type of title does not imply we must love, respect or cherish them. Its as foolish as thinking women should do as I say because I am a man...
"implied authority". Its good to hate and is often needed. Everything we know about these types of relationships they are unhealthy and dangerous. They are chronic too. Meaning you just always reconcile or give more chances even when you run out of quarters or energy.
There are lots of negative but someone has to no longer tolerate this, take accountability for not walking away sooner and deflect or push back.. You will need to be stronger for mom. Its a great signal too. With you totally removed with no emotion or connectivity, you can focus on everything else.
Honestly its good for him to feel and see, you detached, number or cut emotional connectivity. Its like viewing him as a roomate who tried to destroy your life and might if given the chance.
You own your thoughts and emotions. When do people stop letting others demand they do as the other says. You also accumulated 5 + yrs of negative, sh*t or abusive emotion feeling? It has to have been abuse and usually moms not the saint you painted. You struggled / fought through and still have an impossible long way to go. People want to tell you how to feel?
I work with men (mostly women) who have things like BPD, CPTSD/PTSD on detachment, cutting our emotional connectivity or numbing emotions so others cant abuse or exploit them. Its the maturity and courage to no longer let people do what your father it.
HOW SHOULD THINGS BE
You be strong for you, mother and others. Accept and own you should have done something sooner, Things might be different. You really have been avoiding it. Now is the hardest part. Talk about even the things you promised would never discuss - the things he did or ways he ripped apart. You talk, relive then reprocess you walk through the fire to the door and kick it open (or be trapped). Its how we do trauma therapy (ET;PET). Talking about it is always harder than living it the technical term: empirical evidence. The longer you do nothing the more mom loses the bigger he feels and the more destructive it gets
HOW WILL IT FEEL
I'd bet all your shoes and pursed you have BPD/PTSD (C-ptsd actually). You will feel cut open & raw hyper aroused . This in a real way fixes many things. You talk and its bad - evil someone helps. confusing scare and turbulent. ITS ALIVE though.

It's a sad but true fact that we re often unable to choose our biological parents. You re however, entitled to feel the way u do n hate him if he is really the monster u have just described. Take comfort tho that this is all just temporary. Soon enough, u will graduate from school n become independent.... u can then decide who stays or be discarded from your life. Be patient for now n I'm sure all these will go away for u someday...

It would be strange ,if you happen to like and love the way your dad behave. But one good thing is that, you would not behave in the same manner as to your father had done, so you would be far better son than your father. Any how as an etiquette and social rule ,you must be patient and live with your parent in harmony ,since he did not force you to react in the same manner as he did, as to your complaining.

If he really is what you say he is, it doesn't matter who he is. You have every right to dislike him, no matter who he is.
