My father is a role model, the family has direction, and the family will not be scattered. My father will not exaggerate himself too much, nor will he deliberately hide his shortcomings. Instead, he will calmly demonstrate to me with actions. There may be shortcomings. But he's trying to be the best he can be, and we've grown together.

Good for you. Having a father as a role model is such a blessing ! Thanks for sharing.

To be honest, my relationship with my father is not very close but not too far either. my father sometimes always advised me well, my father always worked diligently to provide for the family, and I admired his hard work. and I make that as a motivation, so that I always fight and not give up.

Seeing all the struggles of my parents, I really want to make them happy and repay them one day. Even though I know his flaws and ugliness, he is still my father.

take the good and throw away the bad.

family circumstances are different. and I hope OP will always be patient so that your father's behavior, I know it's difficult but at least he is still your father who has cared for you as a child. so keep spirit and stay patient, O.P.

You are absolutely right. Blood and emotional connections between parents and children are inseparable. We have to live with a lot of things and be patient. Thank you very much for your soothing words.

I later realized mine respected me a lot while I was growing up. He wanted me close to him but the relationship never worked because he wasn't my kind of person.
I later understood him really well as I discovered alot of his "personalities" in me. It seems I'm made to be a balance to the extreme personalities

Agree. Somehow we are another version of our fathers, we just don't realize or admit it. Sad but true.
