Good evening! I'm sorry you're upset. I'll try to help.
First, about the conflict between you and your father.
Your father and you had a conflict when you were young. This hurt you when you grew up. Here is a brief analysis:
(1) Find where the conflict started.
You don't remember your father being good to you. You feel like you only spent time with him after he was released from prison. It's clear that your father feels bad about the five years he spent in prison. He didn't deal with his emotions well. He helped someone hide stolen goods and came forward. This shows both heroism and cowardice.
He lost five years in prison, time he could have spent with his loved ones and children. You think his actions were impulsive and reckless, but he can't resolve this, so he vents his emotions on you.
You have no right to resist or accuse her. She was like a mad beast, venting five years of grievances.
He ignored his role as a father and family member. He should have made up for lost time with his family.
We're sorry, but we have to understand his experience and be tolerant of some of the things he did.
Maybe he was afraid of losing everyone, but he didn't know how to say it. He lost your trust and was afraid of losing his dignity, so he did something wrong.
(2) About your father's other marriages.
Your father has been married many times. He returned to you despite the passion, good times, and wealth. Maybe it's fate, or maybe you arranged it to resolve conflicts from years ago.
Your mother cared more about your father's company than his money. She wanted to grow old with him. This shows that she is devoted to him.
You said he had a happy life, didn't care about you, and still doesn't get along with you.
We have to go back to the start of the problem. Maybe the father is still struggling with it. He might be worried that you don't respect him anymore. You think your father is bad because he has been to prison.
(3) How you will feel about your father in the future.
Your mother is willing to accept your father because she can't live without him. She's devoted to him, and he needs a companion to grow old with.
I hope you can find the source of the problem and face it with your father. Talk to him about your feelings and what you want.
The father who returned to your mother's side was humble. He wasn't a successful businessman. This was his second return. Each time it brought her humiliation.
He was lonely and wanted his family to understand him. Maybe he was just like you, longing for love.
Our father gave us life, and he made mistakes. We have not been very dedicated.
He created us, so we need to be tolerant and think like adults. Accept your achievements even when life is painful. Our father treated us badly, but it made us stronger. We don't depend on his love to survive.
Your father is old and doesn't have the time or energy to argue with you. Let's use this chance to resolve your conflict so he can enjoy his old age.
Second, about your question.
Your problem is simple. It's common when we fight with our family. It just makes us feel uncomfortable. Sometimes parents are also parents for the first time. They are still children themselves. They are aggrieved and don't know how to express it. They also want to find ways to bully honest people.
Back then, people understood reason, didn't care about other people's opinions, did what they believed to be right, and lived happier lives. There weren't as many psychologists, nor were there platforms to vent one's inner grievances. People weren't as knowledgeable and couldn't get answers from books.
People in any era have to bear their own grievances and don't know how to pretend.
Maybe he was feeling aggrieved when he was talking to you. Your careless retort might have made her feel insecure, made him feel incompetent, and made him lose his authority, so he became stricter with you.
Maybe he's worried you'll follow in his footsteps or go the wrong way, so he's strict.
Think the best of everything. You're family, and you can work through anything. Harmony is key to success. Try to understand them more. One day, we'll be parents too, and we might not do as well as they do.
Use your father's return to get along with him. You might not have anything to talk about at first, but that's okay. There are ways to please him, not only through words, but also through actions and things. For example, buy her a dress, buy him cigarettes, cook her rice, ask a simple question...
I wish all parents could get along and live in peace with their children. I also wish you could find a way to fix things with your father and have a good relationship with him.

I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you, growing up with such a difficult relationship with your father. It's really tough when the person who should be your biggest supporter seems to be against you. I hope you can find some peace and strength within yourself despite all this.
It sounds like you've endured a lot of pain and trauma from a very young age. The way your father treated you and your mother is truly heartbreaking. You deserve so much better, and it's important to remember that his actions reflect more on him than they do on you.
I'm really sorry to hear about everything you've been through with your father. It's understandable that you're struggling with how to handle the situation now. Maybe seeking help from a therapist could provide you with tools to cope and set boundaries.
Your story is deeply moving. It's clear that your father's behavior has had a profound impact on your life. It's not easy to reconcile with someone who has caused so much harm. Perhaps focusing on building a support network of people who do value and respect you can help heal some of those wounds.
It's incredibly sad to hear about the challenges you've faced with your father. It's important to recognize that you didn't deserve any of that treatment, and it's not a reflection of your worth. Finding ways to protect your emotional wellbeing might mean setting firm boundaries with him.
