I agree with LTD and your mom. It may be that you aren't quite ready or prepared to take your dad on.

You get around it by practicing on other people first - people who don't instantly draw out all those old tools which aren't working for you anymore. Once you've practiced on others for a while ("a while" can be 1 to many years), then you may be ready to take on your father. He is going to be your final exam, because with him, those old behavior patterns are most deeply rooted.

Practice practice practice!
