I think it is a big deal to you because it is your father. Like others said above. If you feel that you do not need to hold a grudge and you can let it go, then forgive it. water under the bridge. to a stranger who had done that to me, I would think twice about it also. I just think that it hits closer to home since the person we speak of is your father.
If a coworker yelled at me, and hated me, I wouldnt care.
If my girlfriend yelled at me, and hated me, then i would try to work it out.
if my father yelled at me and hated me, i would try harder than the GF.
that is just my relationship with my dad. I love the man, and knowing him, he would have a reason. I would talk to him, and see how we could come to an understanding, and then work from there. I wouldnt hold a grudge.
you will not be able to change your fathers decision, of why he did it, and how he feels about it. just let it go and be happy that you have a great father, (I would hope he is. ) and that he made a mistake in your eyes, but you could forgive him.
