Is it wrong that I don't like my dad anymore?

Question

hi I'm 15. Lately I'm starting not to like my dad. I feel like I hate him, I just don't like him for some some reason. Hes a jerk, and can be really mean sometimes. When I was younger we were close, really close, but now , lately, i don't want to even talk to him, he doesn't even have common courtesy, which might be another reason I don't like him.

I feel like me not liking my dad, is like committing a crime or something, because we have like the perfect family, with no problems. My mom and dad are married for 25 years still, my sister is going to collage a couple states away in about 2 days, and I'm going to be a junior in high school, no drinking, smoking, anything, perfect family, and we all love each other. Its just lately I'm feeling hate towards my dad for the little things he does. The small things that make me mad all add up and just make me not like him I guess. Is this bad? Is something wrong with me? Should I just suck it up and pretend that every thing is how it should be and nothing changed? what do I do?

We have mood swings from time to time. Some days we will feel as though we hate something and some days we will feel as if we love it. Little things will upset us while big things will have no affect whatsoever. Strange huh?

No, this is not bad, it is just normal behavior. It just means that you're human. You're not sick and there's nothing wrong with your head :). Everyone experiences this from time to time whether with friends, family, pets, ect. So why are feeling this way? Perhaps you are not accustomed to something that your dad appears to be doing? Has he been really busy? Has he been bothering you lately? Or maybe you're a bit annoyed about something and are taking it out on your father? Is something wrong? Maybe you have come to the point where you can't tolerate with your dad's attitude? There are many answers. Wait until next week and see if you feel any different towards your dad?

You're telling me that you have a "perfect family." Well, if that was true, you wouldn't be avoiding your dad. Is there something you left out that's happening within your house? Is it bothering you? If so, I would highly reccomend talking to your dad about this. But that doesn't sound like the case to me :)

It could be just teenage hormones causing problems. Are you mad at your other friends too or just him? Have you also changed your habits? It might be you are still his "little girl" and he cant see the "grown up woman" you now are and who is capable of making a few more decisions than what color ribbon to put in your hair!
