Is it normal to only love your mom

As far as I can remember, I've always been a mommy's girl. My brother has also always preferred spending time with mom instead of dad. Part of the reason I think this is, is because as my brother and I were growing up(I'm 18, brother is 20) our dad would make us "study" for hours. He would buy math, physics, chemistry, all sorts books and try to teach us whatever he thought we were/should be learning at school. The thing is.. If my brother or I would a get like a problem wrong or if we wouldn't understand something right away my dad would yell at us. Tell us how stupid we are. Shake his head in disappointment. This is how it was from like ages 11-17. I've never actually had a real conversation with my dad. Unless he asks me about school but even then I feel weird, like the conversation is not genuine. But I don't WANT to conversate with him. I feel like he ruined my childhood. He didn't let me go out as much as a normal teen should. He yelled in my face so many times, hit me, slapped me. Is it normal that I'm afraid to even speak to my own dad? To only love my mom?

    I think most people like one parent better than the other, but most still love both of them.
