Try your best to show him instead. It sounds cliché but actions do speak louder than words sometimes.

This is where the saying 'Action speaks louder than words' come into play. Sometimes people need more than just the words to assure them. And even actions sometimes don't help, but be patient and keep showing the love.

It could be that he interprets your actions as being a consequence of his actions, or maybe he's feeling guilty about something that he did?

Sit down and talk to him truthfully and respectfully. Explain your worries and feelings and try to negotiate.

Maybe do something to show him just how much you care, and try to reinforce the fact that you don't hate him by doing little things as often as possible.

Help your dad understand how much you love him. Appreciate him more and thank him for all the things he does.

Try to spend more time with him, show him that you love him it can be with little things like a hug or just a simple I love you.

Find out why he thinks that way so this thought can be changed. Then, just continue to show him love and respect.

I'm my opinion, you should show him some love and get closed to him. Whenever you see him, just pass a smile, it'll work. 😊

All you can do in this situation is to keep reassuring him that you love him and eventually he will understand. Some people it takes constant repeating to get them to understand what you mean:)
