I started asking myself this question for I really dont know what I feel about him. He is the kind of person who is gentle to others but cruel to his own family specially to me. People say that he is good and always there for them when they need him specially when it comes to financial matters but when it comes to our family he always gives less and I always ended up giving my own money. He likes to command and gives instruction on things with out financial support when the thing is its not even going to benefits us. What is worst is that he screams at us when we dont follow or finish his orders. tsk! tsk! tsk! Theres a saying that "Family must come first" well I dont see this on him. I guess he just loves to order us around and make him superior.

I can relate to you here..my father is not exactly like that but they have the same in common and that is he wants us to look to him as the superior. He's not the breadwinner since I can remember, because my mother is the one who makes both ends meet for all of us. And yet, he wants us to be like robots who will follow his every words whether we like it or not. Good for me that I was able to break the chains because I know what is right. It doesn't mean that when we sway our parents, we sinned against the commandments honor thy father and thy mother. We were given knowledge by God to differentiate between the right and wrong and do what is good for the family. It all depends on how our father accept it that we, his children will straighten them. Don't hesitate to tell him he's wrong if you know the truth. I hope your father can still change because my father is very much dependent on me now not just like before when he nearly curses me because I stand strongly and tell him his wrongdoings.
