Helow doc.. I am sick and tired of a problem since the first day of my life and that is i cant adjust with my father.. His nature is too much dominating and he does not want to give me a little space.. he always pinches me through out the day so that i react and a horrible fight can take place... But that does not mean he does not love me.. he does care for me...but i hate him from the day one and i have a deep down anger and hatred for him.. Two years of my b.tech course are left so that i can get a good job and separate myself to make a world of my own...but ego clashes and daily fights are making my life hell...how can i get over from this??

Hello, Interpersonal issues between family members are getting more common due to multiple factors. A good therapist can help you both understand the basis of such conflict. A family assessment including communication patterns, role and leadership patterns, emotional involvement,  mutual expectations etc can be assessed and the situation can be helped. In such conflicts it is quite important to understand perspectives of all concerned you, your father, other members etc. Kindly meet a good therapist around you to seek help in such situation.

Hi, I understand your distress, living in the conditions you have mentioned can be really stressing. But, since this involves another person, you must understand that suggesting you something doesn't change your dad's behaviour towards you. And also, does he behave like this only towards you or is he like that in general? Have you ever spoken to your father regarding how hurtful it is for you for having to face this on day to day basis? Looks like this problem warrants for a psychological evaluation.i would suggest a family therapy. There are good clinical psychologists in your city , you may consider contacting them alone first and then taking your family with you.
Health Tips
Try and talk to your dad about what is hurting you. When irritated or angry, you can use distraction techniques, easily available online. You might feel angry, but resisting from showing that anger out might help you keep the situation from going into a fight. (long term suppression of anger is not good. I suggest u practice this until a psychological consultation, post which you can follow wat your therapist says).
