Yes, things did improve with my father. After a few wild years at college, I ended up listening more to my parents and followed through with my degree in elementary education (which I didn't want) and marrying the man they liked. But things got worse again, for several reasons, but mostly when I left my husband. However, a while later, my father left my mother for one of my former high school teachers. His attitude started to change after that. But I still mostly presented a different image to him than my true self. This allowed us to get along pretty well in later years.
Thank you for the compliment and question.
