Yeah how dare he work hard to put a roof over your head. Never mind why he has the job or anything like that, anyone who works hard to support their family is a bad person.

If we are all to be judged based on what knowledge we have then I would again point out that there is bound to be a person out there who finds you stupid. Again try to remember this and maybe it will help you in future.

I am not saying you are a bad person or trying to attack you but one skill I had to learn last year was to look for the positive and not focus on the negative,and while I don't always pull it off I do think it is good advice and it has gotten me through so hard times so i am just trying to help.

Your father sounds like the typical under educated hard worker that used to be common place in this country a few generations ago. if you are right and the labor he has done is so painful and harmful to his health then he can be admired for keeping at it and not just running out on his family. That may seem like setting the bar low but I know what it is like to do backbreaking work and how at the end of the day you don't have the energy to study things like branches of science that do not help you put food on the table, heck my family is pretty much in that spot right now. I know a lot of families where the father just ran out and left his wife and kids holding the bag and I also know families where kids were kicked out once they turned 18 and your father has not done these things and it sounds like he must have paid for you to get an education, even if it was just the school supplies that is a lot more then some fathers do. Also remember every person is a product of their times and upbringing and people of the future may despise you as much as you despise your father.

Try to focus on the positive and not to have an inflated view of yourself and it may help you be happier in your current situation.

I am only giving you this advice because I am trying to help and it has worked for me.

Hope things get better for you soon.
