I think I'm beginning to lose respect for my father. I hardly hear to what he is saying neither do I reply to him much.

It started some three years ago. He talks a lot, not the funny kind of talk or something interesting, but ranting, cribbing, demeaning, downgrading and arrogant talk. He has become very arrogant, to full of himself, cursing and swearing.

But he gives me whatever financial aid he can. And i feel guilty because of that. I'm not sure whether i should feel that way. But I'm not sure whether he is giving me financial aid because he loves me or he considers it his duty.

When I was a kid, he used to be a much better person. But despite that, I don't think I have any close bonds with him.

is it normal to feel this way?

    are you sure he used to be a better person? or is it that you lost your childhood goggles?

    My dad was like that, and still is sometimes. It interfered with his work and he had to take anger management classes I think. He still vents self-righteously on occasion, but we get along most of the time now. I have learned when to listen to him and when to just tune him out... and when to talk back or hang up the phone.
