I haven't spoken to either of my parents in years now because of their drinking. You did not get any say in who your father is and you have no obligation whatsoever to maintain a relationship with him. If he genuinely makes your life worse then I would say that you have an obligation to yourself to cut him out, especially since from what I've seen you post you have made a lot of progress dealing with some difficult things.

It seems like your parents lashing out at you has conditioned you to feel like the cause of their problems rather than a victim of them. That's dangerous thinking and something you should really try to watch for in yourself and correct when it's happening. You are not responsible for your parents' lives.
