OP, my dad's like this too. It was such a hard thing to realise/accept -- it took me going away to university and sharing anecdotes told in a funny story sort of way and getting "...o_0" reactions from my friends to realise that the way my dad acted was actually incredibly abusive. I have a younger sister too, who's always been "the troublemaker" and he compares her unfavorably to me when it suits him, as I'm quiet and academic and she's loud and artsy and therefore must be Doing Life Wrong (not that this makes me any less Wrong when it's my turn!). It's shit.

But... I'm 24 now, I've barely been home since I finished university. I didn't talk to him for a year, entirely supported in this by my mum (she's really great), and he actually did realise that I frankly wasn't tolerating his behaviour anymore. My sister left home and did the same. And since then... he's really made an effort, more than I would have ever believed, to tone himself down. I'm still not comfortable going home, and I only talk to him in tiny tiny doses (we're not a terribly communicative family at the best of times), but it's bearable now.

I can't trust him with my emotional wellbeing, and probably never will, mind. But he doesn't fill more than a small corner of my mind, a not terribly important one. My life doesn't have that much to do with him. I've spent a lot of time analysing and unpacking what was going on in the entire dynamics of our family, which helps me recognise and avert the same patterns in my own behaviour, as I basically worshiped him when I was younger and modelled a lot of myself onto him -- it takes time to do all this work. But it's worth it. It gets better, and easier. I promise <3
