Is it normal for my dad to act this way?

He has bizarre ideas and ways of doing things. If you dont agree with him, you're stupid. He is so rude sometimes its hard for me to believe there isnt something wrong with him.
For example:
-he asks me if im goin to a certain friends house , i tell him im waiting for her to reply and he tells me
maybe nobody wants to hangout with you.
-computer is going slow he yells at me youre slow
-mentions marijuana to me, i jokingly say i dont know what that is. He says yes you do because youre stupid
-i try to have a convo with him and he'll have 3 catchphrases.. thats cool. No shit. Anyway.
-watching tv he never has anything funny to say. Its always these jews are so ant-ifamily. They got to push that gay propaganda.

    If he's not joking, then no, it's not normal. Perhaps you could tell your dad how some of his comments make you feel, but I wouldn't advise you to try to change him.

    No, it's not normal. He sounds more like a bully than a father. Unfortunately, you can't change him. The most you can probably do is ignore him or make a snappy comeback the next time he insults you. Also, remember that this is only temporary and you can move out when you graduate.

    The t.v. says funny things so he doesn't have to.

      I mesnt for instance. I dont just expect him to always have something funny to say. Basically, hes never "in the moment" ..

    Your dad is hilarious. He's probably what? 17 years older then you? That's why he's an asshole.

    Sometimes parents see in their child what they don't like about themselves and act like jerks to them. Sometimes parents are jealous of their child and act like jerks to them. Sometimes parents are just assholes and act like jerks just because they can.

    If you don't like someone, there is no law saying you have to have anything to do with them. It doesn't matter if they are related to you or not.

    There have been times I didn't like how people treated me, so I didn't have anything to do with them. This has included my mom, dad, stepmom, mother in law, step sister, and brother (not all at the same time.) I told them I didn't like x,y,z and I wasn't going to have anything to do with them. Some of them made the choice to change, some didn't. The ones that made the choice to change, I talked to again. The ones that didn't, I still don't talk to. I can't control other people's behavior, but I can control mine. At first it was hard because I missed them, or thought I was doing something I shouldn't do because they were family. Its easier now and I don't feel bad about it anymore. I had to learn that people will treat you how you let them treat you. My family learned that I won't take abuse or disrespect. I'll leave. I absolutely won't put up with it. The ones who wanted me around changed. The ones who didn't change their ways, I don't talk to. I don't need their drama anyway.

    If he's serious and you're not exaggerating on any level, then he may have slight dementia. My ex's mother is that way. was with her a bit, according to her stories, her younger brother and her sis now who's 8 and I'm thinking of calling child welfare on because she's actually pretty bad now and I have a son with my ex. I don't want my child around her and have basically adopted her KIK sis as mine

        Thanks. you'll get through it as well. if it's truly making you unhappy stop dealing with it. There's enough things in life that you'll put yourself through, don't let other's do it for you. Good luck

    I do tell him how i feel. I tell him hes being annoying sometimes and then he acts really obnoxious by doing or saying something repetitively
