To be fair, I should add that my father's intentions were definitely good. He loved me as much as anyone in the world and he didn't want to see me hurting. And if his secondary motivation was to get me to quit annoying him, or that he couldn't stand to see me hurting, well... that's ok too.
I wish someone like your therapist had been around to teach him better ways to express his caring.
