Difficult relationship with father

I think you should forgive your dad.

Let yourself grow for the future, not waste away in the insecurity of the past. Even if you get to tell him about all the ways he's hurt you and made you feel bad, it's still your choice to forgive him or not. It is always your choice, and I suggest you make that choice soon. Your dad—though the relationship with our fathers has real statistical impact on us—is not a god. He is imperfect, and he is incapable of loving someone perfectly, just as you are. Mending things with your dad will help you a lot, but you need to start it in yourself and remove the first brick of the wall.

A lot of issues in our lives can stem back to the imperfection of our fathers, but an apology from him can't fix us. He isn't magic or omnipotent. Some of us might not ever get an apology! What would we do then?
