Answer 1

smack him in the mouth,i don't know what age you are but i had a controlling father,one day i was playing my music and he came into my room with a hammer and smashed my music system up,so i fu*ked him one on the chin,for some unknown reason this action brought us closer together,the world a weird place man,

Answer 2

My father is the same way and I know that i had anxiety around him and i was always on guard. What helped me was gaining self confidence, his criticism didn't seem to matter as much to me when i was personally successful and content with myself.

My advice would be to immerse yourself in finding out what your personal beliefs and values are so that you can gain confidence and you may be able to better accept who he is but not take his opinions and criticism as personally.

good luck!

Tell him you'll cut his balls off if he doesn't chill the F out.
