Re: dad killed my love
I kind of agree with the above. Parents can teach us how NOT to be too. (You know how it feels like to be treated like he treated you and won't do it to your kids.)
He is also giving you the opportunity to learn how to deal with people with respect. If he continues his bad behavior, you may decide that the only way you can respectfully deal with him is to stay away until he can do likewise.
The $20 may be an "I am sorry". Sometimes people try to pull us down because they don't what us to make them look small. Your dad may get his pleasure from a bottle, you get yours from the art of polishing. He can't say I was wrong. Teach he how to forgive. It doesn't mean taking abuse.
Sorry if this seems like lecture, I feel for you and thank you for letting me vent.
