Why does my dad hate me?

Your dad does not hate you , may b it will be your persumtion try make with your dad obey him do what he want

Hate is a strong word. I sense the disdain in your post and I hope what I say helps. Many times, adults have issues within themselves that they resonate on to others. Your dad doesn't hate you honey. Something wonderful about you reminds him of the life he left behind and can never get back. I've known men (fathers) who are so regretful that their youth is gone. They work, watch TV and are generally depressed. Do the best you can and don't take your dad's bad attitude personally. Most likely, it's got very little to do with you.

Maybe he doesn't know how to be a father because maybe he didn't have a very good up bringing, or maybe he has been through a lot more than you will understand. I'm sure it is an issue with himself and maybe he doesn't know how to deal with it so it relays to you as hate. I wouldn't take it personal, and perhaps the best thing you could do is to try to understand where he is coming from and "Kill him with Kindness". Good luck to you and your Dad.

Your dad may hate you, but probably not. If you can, ask him.

Most of us men learn to act mad when we are scared or overwhelmed, or don't know what to do that would be better. If you get mad back you just feed the fire. He may think that you hate him, and is trying to cover his hurt or sense of defeat. Most of us men do not take defeat very well.

Whether he hates you or not, remember to be true to yourself and don't stoop to unkind or hurtful behaviors. Manage yourself in ways that you will be pleased about ten years from now.

Do you hate your dad is the real question. Show him more love and gradually he will return it for his love.

You think your dad hates you but that may not be true as parents don't hate their children usually. There may be some misunderstanding between you and him, and you and he should try to iron it out by communicating with each other more often. Tell him that you love him and you will see a change in your relationship with him.

I'm having the same problem, I know what it's like. In fact I posted my own thread about it a couple of hours ago. I can't give much advice, because I don't know exactly what to do in my situation, but I can say that maybe you should simply talk to him to see if anything is going on. I plan to that soon. I hope you resolve this, and if you take my advice, then good luck.

What make you think he hates you? can you elaborate a little? I am guessing he is just looking out for your best interest, somethings you just won't understand till your older, he might just be tring to teach you something.

Its a sad sad world really and when you feel as though your dad "hates" you then of course you feel even more confused and alienated. Try talking to your dad. It may be your actions or choices he hates- not you. He may be even depressed or have feelings of some kind of inadequecy in himself and is unable to project positive feelings toward you. Regardless of what everyone else says.... you have to ask him yourself to really know this answer. Puttng a question out there to him like this may open a new line of communication and start something good between you two.
Good luck

Just ask him why dad and say i love you dad
