Hi Create, I reckon Yanisincere has something here. You could read your Dad's comments as him crying out for help and understanding. Maybe he doesn't know how to ask nicely, but he seems to be complaining that you're not paying attention to him.

Maybe you could have a conversation with him where it focusses on him, not you. Let him talk about his stresses and concerns. I'm sure you're not the only thing he worries about!

Mind you, like the others said, distance for a bit can also be cleansing. Allows you to come back calmer.

Good luck, and congratulations on your recovery!

Hazel
