Is it normal for me to not want to have anything to do with my father?

My dad has treated me like crap my whole life. He's called me a tramp, he's ignored me when I've told him I love him, he's completely blocked me out when I've tried to tell him how I feel and open my heart to him, and he's taken advantage of me, as well as emptied mine, and my siblings' college accounts for himself. Honestly, I feel like I can live without the man. I can really truly say, that if he said we no longer have to visit him, I would be happy. Is it normal for me to feel this way? What should I do?

    I haven't treated him like crap, I've tried to be the best and most respectful daughter I can be.

      Your method obviously hasn't worked for you so far. He thinks you are all walk-overs and if you no longer want to visit him, then don't. Get busy with your own life and friends, you should not waste your time. He does what suits him and so should you. Life's too short to run after this man, trying to get him to care about you.

    After all that treatment, who wouldn't feel that way? Of course it's normal.
    My dad is an asshole, he thinks he owns everything and that he's always right. He smokes in the house and leaves his messes everywhere. He thinks women are second-class citizens, and he treats my mom like crap sometimes.
    I understand he grew up in a different time and has his own problems, but I won't make them mine. As long as you are respectful and do not harm him, know that you are great and have a strong mind. :)
    I still love my dad, but if he chose to live a solitary life I would accept it and provide assistance only if he requested. Just keep your things separate so that he has no access and live your life to the fullest.

    Treat him like crap back.
    It shouldn't be so difficult since you have already been doing it for a very long time.
    What do you want me to think that you are some sort of saint and we shold all give you an halo?

    What should you do?
    You should do what you had in mind.
    Push him away from you.
    That of course if you don't long for revenge.
    IN that case,you probably want to find a way to make him suffer as much as he made you suffer.
    And tell you what,you eventually will.
    You will.
