It's possible to feel hatred toward your father. These feelings typically develop in childhood, depending on your father's behavior and parenting style. Hatred can be difficult to cope with and painful to live with. When I was younger, I always seemed to have a negative opinion of my father. I never wanted to be around him, and I would always try to avoid talking to him. Even now, I can't seem to bring myself to like him very much. He's always been a bit too strict and controlling for my taste, and I think he's never really understood me. I guess I just don't really see him as a father figure.
