Relationships

With my father, to be precise. This is what;s going on. For the last few months while I have been on the road to recovery, changing as I go, just trying to be myself at the time... my father gets annoyed and angry with me when I'm just trying to make conversation. Says things that quite frankly hurt my feelings. Such as.. 'you are always like that'. 'you've always been that way'. 'that's something a republican would say'.????? 'youve always been cheap'. So after months of weekly struggles with this, I decided I'd be better off being away from him until I was recovered/more recovered. He seems to have no compassion for me what so ever. Paradoxially, I can't seemingly recover as long as our relationship is as it is. I desperately need to accept something here, I presume. Basically I have allowed him to take over my mind and I'm going crazy.

Any ideas or books to read or anything at all would be welcome.
