Father...
I feel like i can't talk to my dad like a daughter should be able to it feels like whenever i try to
have a conversation with he gets frustrated and wants me to go leave which i usually do he says negative things & comments towards me almost as if i'm not good enough he's said some hurtful things to me in the past which i'm not going to repeat things that you don't expect father's to say to their daughters
Any suggestions on what i should do..

Write him a letter. This will serve two purposes. First, it will give you the chance to get your feelings out in an organized manner without worrying about getting choked up or emotional. Second, it will give your father the chance to hear you out without getting all upset and mean because you are getting emotional. In this letter, be sure to explain that you wish you could talk to him more and you want to share more of your feelings with him, even if he thinks they are stupid. Be sure to include in this letter that you love him and try to think of things that you appreciate about him. People are more open when they feel they are not being "bashed". He'll be more likely to really understand what you're saying if he also knows that you're not saying he's the "bad guy". Its hard to communicate with parents sometimes. Sometimes parents say things they don't mean, not because they hate you, but because they love you so much that when they see you're hurting they just don't know what to do and its frustrating. They want to see you make good choices so you can avoid pain and suffering, and when they think you aren't making the right choices, they can seem angry and say things that are negative, but they really just mean "I love you so much, I can't stand to see you do things that I know will end up hurting you". So write it down in a letter and give it to your Dad. You may be surprised what he has to say. Good luck to you.
