Misunderstood Methods

My dad and I have a rather messed up relationship. He may call me dumb for not doing some thing right or put me down when I find it to be uncalled for. Then I get back at him by calling him names, but my dad and I are best of friends. People may see my dad and I to be crazy and uncalled for by the way we act but it is the only way we show we care for one another.
There have been times in the past where he and I put each other down but when I get into trouble he is right there to help me out. For example my dad was mad at me for hanging up on him and then my my car axel snapped and I swerved into a parked car. While I sat in the car coming close to having a heart attack I called my dad and he raced over to the scene as fast as he could. Even though we act like jerks toward each other I could never have a better relationship with my fater.

Very interesting! I can relate to your relationship with your father because my own relationship isn't all too friendly. But nevertheless, he and I manage to get along somehow.

Hey Tom,

I think that you strike a relevant chord here, in that sometimes there is no way of defining how familial relationships work.
