There's not much you can do to change his mind. Some people can be very stubborn. All you can do is show your love for him and show him respect. Show it through your actions.

You could try to figure out why your father thinks you hate him and see if it is possible to show him rather than tell him that you love him.

Try hanging out with him more and show love and support. Invite him to events and do fun activities.

in my opinion, I find that the best way to prove anything is proving it by actions. find what he loves and do it or give it to him. giving him presents also is something to be noticed. there are some ppl have low self-worth and think that everyone hates them. and they most look at most details, so if there would be any small change in your actions, they will think you don't like them.so you would also need to be careful, and sometimes some explanations would help.so in summary : show love and care and prove them by actions.

This is a very subjective situation, and as I have not experienced it I cannot give you advice on what to do. But it may be in your best interest (seeing as he isn't convinced through you telling him) to try alternative methods of convincing him. Maybe try helping him out with something, or asking to spend time with him - not for any objective, but just enjoy each other's company. SHOW him you love him (or at least don't hate him). It may also be worth looking back at your interactions/experiences with him to see if there's any particular reason he's so inclined to believe you hate him. It could just be a misunderstanding, you know? Either way, I wish you the best of luck!

If your father believes you hate him but you don't, not only should you reassure him that you love him but show him that you love him. Show him by randomly spending time and bonding with him, do a random act of kindness for him to show your appreciation etc.

Words and actions are two very different things that have very different meanings. You can't just tell him that you don't hate him and expect him to believe you. Your best chance at improving his thoughts on how you feel about him would be to show him. Do things that help him really see and believe that you don't hate him.

It sounds like there is some miscommunication between you and your father. Have you considered asking him why he thinks you hate him?

I'm so sorry your father thinks that about you. It must be so painful for the both of you. And my heart goes out to you and your family. In my opinion, a pacient conversation works like nothing else. Please ask him for his reasons. And give him your opinions. I really hope it works. :) Good luck. :)

On some situations we don't consider the weight or the impact our words have in someone when we speak out of anger. I would say that we speak in those moments without considering the consequences and we say things we regret later on because at the moment it seemed as the right thing to say to make us feel better, but in reality it's not. Even if you apologized to others, that other person is still tasting the bitter of those spoken words. If your father thinks you have that kind of feelings toward him you could do something nice for him, something that could show him how much you want your relationship to be in good terms with him. I don't know how his personality it's or the kind of things he likes but I think you know that better, thus you could do something that could make him happy. Think what you could do to make him feel better, sometimes the key to things it's in the little details. Do something nice where you can show to him how much you love him. Actions speak louder than words!
