I figured it out! It think that the reason my dad irks me so much sometimes is because he treats me as if I don?t know anything about being Mormon! He "explains" things to me as if I have never heard the concepts before...and it bothers me! why does it bother me? because maybe in my head i dont think that i have "strayed" THAT far from it. so i dont go to church every sunday, so i have had alcohol in my lifetime, and still choose to do so from time to time. to me, this does not make me a bad person, or one that has completely denied my parent's religion...because you know what? when i DO go to church, it is to the church that i feel most comfortable...when I CHOOSE not to drink, it is because I, personally dont like the taste or the feeling anymore. blah blah blah. shouldnt that be worthy of at least some respect from my father?

dont get me wrong, he is an amazing person, and i love him dearly. i just dont really appreciate what he thinks of me (he, really doesnt have a clue about who i am or what i am about), nor the way that he talks to me as if i am clueless.
