If your father doesn’t believe what you’ve said, steps should be taken to see why he thinks you don’t like him, and once that is established you should try to see what steps you can take to move forward.

Many times as a parent you try very very hard to be right there for your children and many times when they see their son or daughter in trouble and they can't seem to figure you out as to why you cannot open up to them automatically as a parent you seem to think we did something wrong why? Simply because as a parent raising the children's youth have gone through everything together from changing your diaper to feeding you to putting you to bed to listening to you when you are scared coming to your aid for new phone protecting you from anybody who tries to hurt you so when a son or daughter hide things that are troubling them. and is a parent we always want to be right there to protect our children answer their questions as best as they possibly can no matter how embarrassing it may be for a parent to hear their kids talk. As children become adults and parents have not yet learned to accept that their children are no longer children but adults now. And always want to do things for our children for their best interest so yes it's easy for apparent to say you hate me or may have assumed that a child hates his parents because once again a child is not opening up to them just like when they were very young

I have learned that actions often speak louder than words. Doing something considerate like buying his favorite chocolate while on a shopping tour with friends says 'I love you.' more than the words themselves. It shows that I think about him. That he is on my mind. Love does not have to vocalized, expensive or time-consuming. It's the little thinks that matter.

Actions speak louder that words. Show him that you don't really hate him. Take care for him or show that you love him.

Ask your father if you can talk to him, and take a seat and begin talking about why he feels like you hate him, and that you don't. To convince him that you really don't hate him, a hug or two would be great. Create physical contact and show him - through your actions - that you mean what you say.

There's honestly nothing much you can do about it except to keep telling him. Keep telling him and do small things to remind home everyday.

With every action, express your love, because love is shown in the simple things, for example “buckle your seatbelt” “have you ate?” Etc etc just show him you’re there, that you care enough for him and you love him

keep repeating it over and over, show him that you do by your actions, the small gestures, notice the things he likes and dislikes the greater the care the easier for him to believe you :)

Show him. You can try to talk to him to see why he thinks you hate him, and help prove to him you don't.

Hmmm, I have actually had this issue. Just do small things to remind him that you care. Get him a favorite candy bar, or something small sometime. Write a card, do things that are appropriate from you to him. Sometimes people need reminders. On the other side, make sure you keep the relationship healthy, and make sure that you are also getting the love back you need too.
