you dad sounds like a major loser and a shithead. One day when he gets sober, he'll realize all the people that really matter have left him.
my dad was a scumbag and while he wasn't physically abusive (lucky for him or I'd be seeking revenge when I got older), he did make some major decisions that caused me to suffer in my life.
anyways get over your love for your dad, just see him as another flawed person in the world who's crossed that sacred line with you-by physically harming you.
When I had fights with my dad, sometimes we'd go without talking for a couple of years.
Only as I got older and he mellowed down a bit could I be friends with him. His scumbag side comes out every so often, but it's at a tolerable level.
Just learn to be your own person without needing him for anything and then you'll be able to have an arms-length relationship with him if you wanted.
But the way your dad abused you like that, esp after your dog died, I probably wouldn't even call him on xmas. Some people are just dirt and you can live without them.
IIN for my dad to hurt me..
