Depending on which area you refer to. Touch can also be a language of love expressing for some people.

Very likely, but you need to speak with someone like a doctor or a therapist right away if you aren't sure. Please tell your doctor, your school counselor, your therapist, or any other adult with the power to help you figure this out.

It all depends on what you mean by "touch". Does your dad grasp your arm? If so, it probably is not sexual abuse (unless the way he does it seems sexual). If you'd like more information on this, i recommend talking to an adult.

It's about that how does he touch you. What do you think about? Badly or harmless...? If you decide on please do what you have to.

If you mean other than a quick hug or something, then yes. You should consider telling another trusted adult or the police.

Yes, this is sexual abuse and you should tell someone before it escalates and get therapy for yourself.

Some of the people expresses their affection through touching. Maybe your dad just wanna express his affection for you but the question is, Is he touching you somewhere that shouldn't be touched? Are you feeling something when he is touching you? If it is yes, then that's sexual abuse.

It depends on when it started, I mean if it started just recently then it could be a red flag, as opposed to if your dad was always like that. Also, it depends on whether same kind of touching is done to your other siblings if you have any, reagrdless of their gender.
